THE HSE 3D PRINTING PLATFORM

Essentium's High Speed Extrusion (HSE) 3D Printer is designed for industrial production and performs to the level required in the most demanding manufacturing environments. Offering class-leading print speeds greater than 500 mm/sec by utilizing a non-slip, high torque extrusion system and all linear servo motors X-Y stage, the Essentium HSE 180 3D Printing Platform has the right solution for your application.

The HSE 280i and HSE 180 3D Printers use non-marring ESD-safe and nylon materials that are ideally suited for high temperature and high impact end-use parts within the defense industry.

This brings an incredible toolset to the warfighter, enabling innovation and increasing readiness. No other manufacturing option gives users the ability to design a part in the morning and have a prototype in the field by the afternoon. Designed for reliability at scale, the HSE 3D Printer reduces the turnaround time and cost of your next innovation.

RECOMMENDED MACHINE

Essentium HSE 280i

The HSE 280i HT 3D Printer is the industry’s first 3D printer equipped with true independent dual extruders (IDEX), meaning each head is fully independent on both the X and Y-axis. At five to 15x faster than the competition, it’s built to transform defense logistics.

Why Essentium?

Implementing design changes can be costly and time-consuming – luxuries the defense and homeland response industry cannot afford – especially given the lag time in outsourced tooling while moving through multiple iterations of hundreds of parts. The Essentium HSE 3D Printer delivers the speed, size, and material versatility to handle the production of up to 85% of all the jigs and fixtures required to assemble a vehicle. This brings an incredible toolset to the warfighter, enabling innovation and increasing readiness. No other manufacturing option gives users the ability to design a part in the morning and have a prototype in the field by the afternoon. Designed for reliability at scale, the HSE 3D Printer reduces the turnaround time and cost of your next innovation.
