Cincinnati Incorporated (CI) will showcase its family of Small Area Additive Manufacturing (SAAM) machines at RAPID + TCT 2019 in Detroit, Michigan in Booth #1517, May 21-23.
CI offers an array of 3D printing capabilities through a variety of additive manufacturing systems. The company will demonstrate the abilities of the SAAM and SAAM-HT 3D printers at the trade show. The SAAM machines were originally designed as a complement to CI’s larger BAAM and MAAM industrial sized additive manufacturing machines. They allow for prototypes to be created before entering full-scale production on the larger machines.
Both the SAAM and SAAM-HT are for creating functional parts. The machines are small enough to fit on desktops and similar surfaces, making them suitable for additive manufacturing capabilities in limited spaces. Both machines use CI’s patented Automated Ejection System to provide the capability for continuous, unattended 3D printing.
SAAM is optimized for carbon-fiber composite 3D printing. It has a 6061 Aluminum and Steel frame and a heated bed temperature of 90°C (194°F). SAAM offers FFF 3D printing and can form any shape imaginable. It is certified to print in Carbon Fiber Nylon and PLA.
The SAAM HT has the same ease and speed of the SAAM machine but offers more power and a wider range of options. It features the ability to 3D print in ULTEM 9085 PEI, PEEK, CarbonX, Carbon Fiber-Nylon, Makeshaper PLA Spool or any thermoplastic up to 500°C (260°F).
On display alongside the SAAM machines will be a 3D printed trim tool that was created on CI’s BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing) machine. BAAM made its debut at IMTS 2014 with partners Oak Ridge National Labs and Local Motors, and the world’s first 3D printed car drove off the showroom floor. Tooling applications have proven to be a good fit for additive manufacturing machines. Users have the ability to quickly, inexpensively and repeatedly produce a needed tool.
For more information about Cincinnati’s SAAM and SAAM HT additive manufacturing machines, visit Booth #1517 at RAPID + TCT and speak with one of CI’s knowledgeable employees.

This is super interesting, but have you heard of a guy named Bill Masters? I recently read an article on OZY about how Masters developed the first 3D printing patent – then lost it. Anyone know anything about this? Here it is for reference: http://www.ozy.com/flashback/and-he-could-have-been-the-father-of-3d-printing/81198#.WeXu6REalHI.twitter
