ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING WITH PATENTED THERMAL CROSSLINKING FOR RESILIENT READY-TO-USE SILICONE PARTS.

innovatiQ is the pioneer in Liquid Additive Manufacturing LAM. With the LiQ 5, our patented LAM technology with thermal cross-linking of LSR silicone is already in its 3rd generation. The LiQ 5
3D printer is ideal for the additive manufacturing of resilient READY-TO-USE components made from standard LSR silicone.

The LiQ 5 has an actively heated build chamber with homogeneous heat distribution for the stable production process of components made of LSR material . With the patented, innovative LAM manufacturing process, it is possible to produce both prototypesand functional partswith material properties similar to those of injection molding. The LiQ 5 is considered a trendsetter among silicone 3D printers, particularly due to its high process reliabilityand a print result without post-processing.

NEW:
OPTIONAL 2ND PRINT HEAD FOR PRINTING WITH SUPPORT MATERIAL

The optional 2nd print head enables the printing of support structures and separating layers, making it possible to produce even more complex shapes. Overhangs, recesses and volumetric shapes can now be printed directly. The support material or release layers can be removed without leaving any residue after printing.

EFFECTIVE INDUSTRIAL USE REQUIRES RELIABLE VALUES:

The LiQ 5 is equipped with all the functions and performance parameters that make it suitable for its diverse & special applications in printing with silicone.
The standard equipment leaves nothing to be desired and fulfills the requirements for successful additive LAM production:

Insight LiQ 5 - Quality, precision & reliability.

Metal frame, industrial housing & safety glass fronts.

The welded metal frame and the painted metal housing of the innovatiQ LiQ5 form the solid basis of the appliance. The viewing doors of the construction chamber and the material compartment are made of solid, shatter-proof safety glass.

LiQ_5_iso_front_

The precise workmanship of the housing, components and add-on parts form the basis for the stable and low-vibration continuous operation of the printer.

Two-component material application

The controlled volumetric extrusion of the 2 material components during silicone printing ensures highly accurate dosing and precise application of the material in the first part of the production process.

LiQ5BildExplainer_2Komp_o

Nozzles with different diameters are available depending on requirements.

Patented thermal cross-linking

The printing and cross-linking processes take place alternately. To accelerate the cross-linking of the material, a high-temperature lamp is used during the cross-linking process, which achieves the necessary temperature of approx. 200 degrees on the surface.

LiQ5BildExplainer_Vernetzung_o

The advantage of material cross-linking is that the components are immediately ready for use. Post-processing is not necessary.

Actively temperature-controlled installation space.

The LiQ 5 has a heatable build chamber that actively supports and stabilizes the printing process.

LiQ5_Explainer_Bauraum_o

The result is components made from LSR material that are unparalleled in terms of surface finish and quality.

12 inch LCD control unit.

GestiQ-Pro - the intuitive CNC control system from innovatiQ - provides you with consistent support during the production process, clearly displays the current print values and simplifies the daily operation of the 3D printing system.

LiQ5BildExplainer_Display_o

The clear menu navigation on the 12" display shows you all applications and data at a glance and helps you step by step to execute a specific function.

Material storage & color mixing unit

The lateral material supply and feed system ensures precise material feed during the printing process with compressed air support.

LiQ5BildExplainerMaterial_o

Thanks to the color mixing unit and SmartColoring, you can produce your components with individual color selection. With the intelligent color mixing system, you can even individually control the color density of the color used.

Drives & motors.

Renowned drive technology components, powerful drive motors, precisely milled drive elements and solid metal axles ensure precise and permanently reliable printing processes.

LiQ5_Explainer_Antriebe_o

Thanks to the use of solid industrial components, mostly made of metal, the entire drive train guarantees low-maintenance and trouble-free operation, even in continuous operation.

Switching technology & electronics.

Precise wiring and high-quality components with simultaneous safety: the electrical connections and circuits are, for example, completely protected by RCDs.

LiQ5_Explainer_Elektronik_o

Only tried and tested industrial components are used for the electronic control system.

Optional 2nd print head

The optional 2nd print head enables the printing of support structures and separating layers, making it possible to produce even more complex shapes.

COLORED 3D COMPONENTS.

Whether for component identification and differentiation or as a design factor:
Silicone 3D printing with innovatiQ offers a new dimension:
Thanks to SmartColoring, you can now additively manufacture yourcomponents with individual color selection. With the intelligent color mixing system, you can even individually control the color density of the color used. This makes not only full-color but also semi-transparent coloring possible.

The result: Clearly marked colored and functional components.

FLEXIBILITY THROUGH FREEDOM OF MATERIAL - IDEAL SELECTION ACCORDING TO REQUIREMENTS / APPLICATION NEEDS AND COST EFFICIENCY:

The material freedom of the innovatiQ LAM printers offers the possibility (within the necessary technical specifications) to use different viscous materials for LAM 3D printing. You are not bound to specific material packages, but have the freedom to choose the most suitable and cost-effective material for your respective needs and projects. In addition, you can of course alsopurchasethematerials selected and tested on innovatiQ printers (marked with ^iQ), including the validated profiles, directly from innovatiQ.
