Maxlotec Commercializes Industrial 3D Printer 'Dabo'... "Targeting Domestic and International Markets"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Maxlotec announced on the 5th that it developed the industrial metal 3D printer ‘DABO’ last year and will start commercialization from this year.

‘DABO’ was created by Maxlotec through collaboration with 3D printing-related institutions and conducting national projects, investing 16 billion KRW over five years. The metal 3D printer ‘DABO’ enables the production of industrial valves, molds, impellers, and turbine blades that were previously difficult to process. It applies hybrid technology that integrates two processes, layering and machining, into a single piece of equipment. It demonstrates advanced precision technology with 6-axis drive technology combining a 5-axis parallel robot and a large rotary table.

A Maxlotec official stated, "It is possible to manufacture precision parts with a surface accuracy of about 7μm (micrometers), which is one-tenth the thickness of a hair, at an industrial part size of about 1 meter. High-speed production technology based on 4kW-class high-power laser optical technology was also applied to shorten part production time."

The official explained, "This technology is only possessed by world-class equipment manufacturers such as Germany’s DMG Mori and Japan’s Okuma," adding, "We integrated the gantry (logistics transfer) robot technology accumulated so far into the metal 3D printer."

Maxlotec is also accelerating the overseas expansion of ‘DABO’. Through building a supply chain-centered network with major domestic and international equipment companies such as Siemens, AP Systems, and Fraunhofer, it plans to target overseas markets including China, Germany, and Russia.

The official added, "We will continue to invest in R&D and establish and cooperate with practical research-centered networks with leading domestic and international material, laser, and optical research institutes and prestigious universities to also undertake the production of ultra-large parts."
