VX1000 HSS

The VX1000 HSS is an MJF 3D printer from voxeljet with a 1000 x 540 x 400 mm build volume.

Specifications

VX1000 HSS: Technical Specifications

Process / Print Head

The VX1000 HSS belongs to the jetted-agent + IR-fusion family (HSS/MJF/SAF): no laser involved. ~8,000 piezo nozzles at 360 dpi span the full 1,000 mm bed width in a single pass. An IR-absorbing agent is deposited precisely on polymer powder; broadband IR lamps fuse the marked zones instantly.

IR Lamps and Platform (Five-Zone Heating)

Five independent heating zones: 54 overhead IR modules + heated side walls + heated floor + recoater temperature control + cooled sintering lamp. This architecture ensures < ±3 °C variation across the 216 L volume: without it, uniform sintering in a 1-metre bed would be impossible.

Calibration

VX1000 HSS: Calibration

Five-Zone Thermal Calibration

Five independent zones require periodic thermal mapping with a thermal camera. Run pre-calibration at every material change; incorrect zonal balance is the primary cause of warping in long parts.

8,000-Nozzle Head Calibration

Built-in contactless automatic cleaning operates between layers. For >8 h campaigns, verify the nozzle test pattern every 4 h; manual cleaning procedure if > 2 % nozzles blocked.

Powder Bed Leveling.

Common defects

VX1000 HSS: Common Defects

Warping of Long Parts (> 300 mm)

Cause: thermal imbalance during cooling. Fix: re-calibrate the five-zone profile, orient parts diagonally, apply gradual cool-down.

Incomplete Fusion in Peripheral Zones

Cause: lower IR power at the edges of the 1 m bed. Fix: thermal verification + adjustment of edge IR modules; avoid placing critical parts within the outermost 50 mm along X.

Nozzle Clog on 8,000-Nozzle Head

Cause: agent drying during pauses.

What it is used for

VX1000 HSS: Use Cases

Automotive Series Production

216 L volume + density-independent throughput = thousands of PA12/PP parts per shift. Proven with Brose and FKM Sintertechnik (Q2 2024).

PP Parts (Chemically Resistant / Airtight)

Reference platform for PP series production: hoses, tanks, housings with airtight requirements.

AM Service Bureaus (Multi-Shift).
