Smoothing and finishing in one step
LuxYours will present the new LUX PRO 400, an automated system for smoothing and finishing of plastic parts, at Formnext 2023. With a process chamber measuring 400 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm and the footprint of a Euro pallet, LuxYours is offering for the first time a compact system that, according to managing director Florian Pfefferkorn, „sets new standards worldwide in terms of quality, cost-effectiveness, flexibility and sustainability.”
The company calls its process Multi Purpose Smoothing (MPS), which LuxYours has developed and gradually improved through its many years of service in smoothing AM components. Today, thermoplastic components from different AM processes such as SLS, MJF, HSS/SAF and FDM can be refined. Porous surfaces are sealed watertight and gas-tight, significantly reducing cleaning requirements and eliminating additional infiltration steps for the components. For products with prolonged skin contact, compatibility is optimized and attack surfaces for germs and bacteria are minimized. It can also be used to smooth, seal and fluidically improve the insides of conduit channels. The secret of MPS lies in the in-depth understanding and interaction of the physical-chemical processes that enable targeted and repeatable quality when smoothing, sealing and improving mechanical properties. Refined components retain their REACH compliance and are food-contact compliant according to EU 10/2011. The operating fluids used are biologically harmless and can be recovered within the system.
