Marvel Medtech Advanced Manufacturing products

Material Properties of XJet NPJ AM (Additive Manufacturing) of Alumina Ceramic. Alumina is the most commonly used ceramic material in industry, comprising over 35% of the technical ceramics materials market. Alumina and zirconia together dominate the technical ceramics materials market, comprising almost 55% of the total market. Marvel Medtech Advanced Manufacturing offers alumina ceramics additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing services using XJet’s Nano-Particle Jetting (NPJTM) technology. NPJ™ AM technology allows fabrication of alumina ceramic parts with high resolution, smallest feature size and geometric complexity that cannot be made with legacy ceramics manufacturing approaches.

Zirconia is a popular ceramic material used in industry, comprising 20% of the technical ceramics materials market. Zirconia together with alumina dominate the technical ceramics materials market, comprising almost 55% of the total market. Marvel Medtech Advanced Manufacturing offers zirconia ceramics additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing services using XJet’s Nano-Particle Jetting (NPJTM) technology. NPJ™ AM technology allows fabrication of zirconia ceramic parts with high resolution, smallest feature size and geometric complexity that cannot be made with legacy ceramics manufacturing approaches.

One of the key benefits of the AM approach is the capability to produce prototypes of your advanced technical ceramics part designs very quickly without requiring a large investment in specialized tooling.  All that is required is a 3D solid model of your design and Marvel Medtech Advanced Manufacturing’s unique expertise in using the XJet NPJ™ system for AM of challenging part designs.  With our Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) know-how, we can help you optimize your part design for best AM results and production efficiencies.

XJet’s NanoParticle Jetting™ (NPJ™) is the proprietary additive manufacturing / 3D printing technology that builds high-precision parts in advanced technical ceramics or metal materials layer-by-layer using an approach similar to inkjet printing on paper.  The key to NPJ™ starts with XJet’s exclusive liquid dispersion technology.  Liquid suspensions containing solid nanoparticles of selected build and support materials are accurately jetted onto the build tray through high-precision print head nozzles.  These liquid suspensions serve as the base materials for the XJet NPJ™ process, unlike most existing metal and ceramic AM/3DP technologies that utilize hazardous, comparably inefficient, and hard-to-handle powdered raw materials.

The XJet Carmel 1400C 3D printer is the state-of-the-art platform for high-precision additive manufacturing of advanced technical ceramics.  Featuring XJet’s NanoParticle Jetting™ (NPJ™) technology, the XJet Carmel 1400C 3D printer offers a breakthrough in AM/3DP precision and efficiency.  As an experienced contract manufacturer of custom advanced technical ceramics, Marvel Medtech Advanced Manufacturing has developed unique expertise in using the XJet Carmel 1400C 3D printer and delivered hundreds of custom ceramic parts with complex part geometries and demanding design details across a variety of industry sectors.  We take pride in our investment and our expertise that allows us to assure the fastest turnaround times without compromising on quality.

As a subcontract manufacturer of advanced technical ceramic components designed by our customers, using XJet Nanoparticle Jetting™ 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing technology, Marvel Medtech Advanced Manufacturing relies upon and works closely with our customers to ensure requirements are well-defined and understood within the context of the NPJ™ system capabilities. This frequently entails providing Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) guidance to our customers to achieve optimal results from a part design and performance perspective, as well as production efficiency perspective.
