Added Introduces Modular JetForge Go and Core Deposition Platforms
Added will debut the JetForge Go and Core, research-oriented deposition platforms that combine inkjet, paste extrusion, curing and planarization through interchangeable Blade modules.
TCT Magazine reports that Added, formerly Added Scientific, has introduced JetForge as an open, modular materials-deposition platform. Independent Blade modules can combine 2D or 3D inkjet with high-viscosity valves, paste extrusion, curing, sintering, recoating and drop watching.
JetForge Go holds two Blades, while JetForge Core holds six. Added says Core can run up to six materials, or four printheads with planarization and curing modules for 3D builds, across polymers, composites, conductive and dielectric materials, biomaterials and magnetic materials.
Added plans to show Core on its Formnext stand and Go on Ricoh’s stand. Pricing, order timing and comparative speed or accuracy data were not disclosed, so this should currently be viewed as a launch of an R&D platform rather than a validated production benchmark.
Key facts
- JetForge Go carries two Blades and Core carries six
- Blade modules can swap deposition, curing and planarization functions
- Added says Core supports up to six materials
- Pricing and comparative performance remain undisclosed
Context
Swappable materials, heads and post-processing modules could shorten experimental workflows for functional-material development.
