Ball screw used in 3D printing
2015-09-21
Ball screw is the ideal product to convert rotary motion to linear motion, or convert linear motion into
rotary motion. And the ball screw provides a wide range of products which is used for various kinds of
applications. Ball screw is widely used in machine tools, such as punch, drill, injection molding machine
and CNC machine and it can be custom made now. Ball screw is based on technology that accumulated
for many years. It is a strict quality assurance system from the material, heat treatment, manufacture,
inspection to shipment, so it is quite reliable.
One new and potential application of ball screw is 3D printing. Today, i’d like to tell you something about
3D printing:
3D printing is a kind of rapid prototyping technology, which is based on the digital model file, and use
adhesive materials like metal or plastic powder. and construct object by using the technology of layer
by layer printing. To put it simply, if we split the items into a thin layer lot, 3D printing is to print the
lamina layer by layer, the upper layer cover the lower layer and combined with each other, until the
item form.
3D printing is usually achieved by using digital technology material 3D printer. In the past, it was
widely used in the manufacture of mold, industrial design and other fields. Now, it is gradually used
in the manufacture of some products.and we can see some successful constructed accessories
using this technology.
Advantages of military applications:
Most of the parts of the military equipment is complex, it is difficult to manufacture in the traditional
processing method, But to save the time cost, we can print it directly using 3D printer.3D printing
technology is simple, easy to operate, and it avoid the data leakage of outsourcing process and
huge time consuming, particularly important for the military industry.
Military industry attach great importance on equipment research and development, They often produce
a single product for trail or small batch production,.Due to the 3D printing manufacturing preparation
and the reduction of data conversion time, the production of R & D cycle and cost reduction, it can
reduce the cost of spending to meet the needs of other military projects.
DRE ball screw have the advantage of High Reliability, Smooth Operation, High Rigidity,preload and
High Durability, our product do have high quality and low price, they enjoy a high reputation among the
world, We have long term cooperation with the USA, Russia, India, Australia and many other countries,
so we are trustworthy, no matter where you from, what you inquiry, we will spare no effort to supply you
our best product and service.
