Introducing FS422M.
CAMS – Continuous Additive Manufacturing Solution, is developed to address the growing movement of the additive industry into true manufacturing as well as future models of production such as Industry 4.0. The CAMS vision is to offer continuous AM production through vertical scalability and modularization capable of integrating into any industrial manufacturing facility. FS421M is the first metal system designed under CAMS concept for industrial scale series production.
Discover FS422M System
Build Station
The build Station is where the sintering process takes place. Once the removable build cartridge is in place, the build packet files would be loaded into Farsoon’s BuildStarTM operating software, then the build process begins.
Permanent Filtration System
The FS422M permanent filtration system features an extended service life of more than 10 years. With excellent air-tightness and safe circulation of inert gas, it is capable of handling reactive material and can offer stable filtration process during the long build process of large parts.
Breakout Station
The build cartridge is moved to breakout station via the fork lift. Integrated with blowing and suction functions, the Breakout Station allows accelerated part cake cleaning. Fully enclosed with access through glove boxes on the front of the station, the breakout station allows operation under inert gas protection while retaining a clean working environment.
Powder Refill Unit
The FS422M is featured with a high-efficiency top-feed powder system. The portable powder refill unit can be easily docked, enabling quick refill of the material into the new material tank without disturbing the build process. The material supply volume can be precisely controlled, and conveyed under inert gas.
Sieving Station
The powder sieving station features a vibration screen offering efficient, automated sieving of recycled metal powder from the overflow & recycled hoppers to filter the large particles. The sieving process is under inert gas protection to prevent powder contamination. The metal powder collected in the refreshed powder bin can be re-used for powder supply.
Reduced Operational Cost
The new FS422M system is integrated with a permanent filter system allows for the processing of active materials with lifespan more than 10 years. In addition, like all Farsoon machines the FS422M is a truly open platform which offers the user a high degree of control to tailor processing parameters for industrial application requirements and cost-competitive metal additive manufacturing.
High Quality, Repeatable Parts
Equipped with advanced multMaser scanning strategy and calibration algorithms, the FS422M offers optimal build efficiency, and uniformed part performance in overlapping areas. Continuous close-loop top-feed powder delivery system, optimized in*chamber gas flowf and inert gas protection allow for uniform melting process of metal powder. Powerful build process control and real-time recoating monitoring ensure the optimal industrial build quality.
Designed for Production
The FS422M is the next-generation medium-large metal laser powder bed fusion system offering continuous production capability with single or quad fiber lasers. With its expanded build envelope size upto 425 x 425 x 550 mm,the FS422M is capable of producing large metal parts for aerospace, automotive and manufacturing industries. Equipped with high• precision digital scanning system, the FS422M offers optimal volume build rate up to 150cm3/h for significantly improved throughput for industrial scale series production.
Industrial Applications with FS422M
With the industrial scale build size and enhanced production capability, CAMS FS422M platform is the optimal series production tool for high quality medium to large sized end-use components for a significant lower price per part.
Turbine Cooling Testbed
Machine: FS422MThis aerospace turbine cooling testbed is designed and build for testing and benchmarking the effectiveness of the new turbine cooling methodologies. Thanks to the advanced additive technology the testbed is integrated with many design innovations offering improved part performance and simplified manufacturing process. The whole testbed is produced in one-piece with intricated, detailed designs with minimal wall thickness of only 1 mm.
In-line Tube & Shell Heat Exchanger
Machine: FS422M-4This in-line tube and shell heat exchanger is purpose-built for the industrial petroleum industry. Rapid heating and cooling crude oil and its many byproducts during the refinement process is critically important to safety and cost. This integrated heat sink component allows for in-line cooling at a fraction of the cost of expensive, space-consuming traditional equipment. Fluid cavity separation allows for cooling or heating of the petroleum with no contact between coolant and production fluid.
The FS422M CAMS System produced high-strength titanium alloy brackets for aircraft fuselage assembly. The machine’s extended build volume enabled manufacturing of large, single-piece structures, reducing the need for mechanical fastening and improving overall strength-to-weight ratio.
Aluminum alloy battery housings were printed in large-format builds, integrating cooling channels directly into the structure. This design improved thermal management, reduced assembly steps, and cut overall vehicle weight for better performance.
The FS422M CAMS System produced corrosion-resistant stainless steel manifolds capable of withstanding extreme pressures. Additive manufacturing allowed consolidation of multiple parts into a single robust component, minimizing leakage risks.
Using lightweight alloys, large rigid frames for MRI and CT scanners were built to precise specifications. This reduced manufacturing lead times, improved structural stability, and enabled customization for specific machine designs.
Using nickel-based superalloys, the FS422M CAMS System manufactured complex combustion liners with intricate cooling channels. Additive production improved thermal efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and extended operational lifespan under extreme heat.
