Akasha300 3D Printer:
Kerala start-up delivers cutting-edge Akasha300 3D Printer to ISRO in a major step towards India’s self-reliance in advanced manufacturing.
- Akasha300 3D Printer is a high-temperature multi-material extrusion 3D printer.
- It is backed by the Space Technology Innovation and Incubation Centre at IIST and the Kerala Startup Mission.
- The printer features dual-extrusion technology capable of operating at temperatures up to 350°C, with future upgrades planned to extend this to 500°C.
- Its modular extruder design allows integration of additional extrusion systems, paving the way for hybrid additive manufacturing techniques.
- It includes a heated bed that can reach up to 110°C, upgradeable to 150°C, and an enclosed chamber capable of maintaining temperatures up to 80°C.
- This enables stable and precise printing of high-performance materials that require strict thermal conditions.
- It is designed as an industrial-grade research platform, the system incorporates a robust motion system and integrated air filtration.
- These features make it suitable for research and development, allowing engineers and scientists to create functional components and prototypes with greater speed and accuracy.
