The revolutionary aspect of the new IMPACT 4530 machine is its high degree of automation and its repeating accuracy. While the machines available on the market to date are largely based on manual processes and are difficult to integrate into the manufacturing process, the IMPACT 4530, by contrast, is designed for safe operation under industrial conditions. The separate operating and loading area, with an automatic changeover system for the containers of the metal powder and the components, ensures higher productivity. The clever design also keeps cleaning and maintenance of the system, a major issue in conventional systems, easy and uncomplicated. This greatly simplifies the handling of the machine and increases productivity.

"In the service segment, IRPD has been an active player in the additive manufacturing market since 2015. Our close cooperation with ETH Zurich and inspire AG meant we initially simply wanted to learn more about this promising technology," says Stephan Nell, CEO of the UNITED GRINDING Group. "However, as users of '3D printing machines,' we quickly noticed that these units offer considerable optimization potential in terms of user-friendliness and repeating accuracy. For this reason, we have decided to develop our own additive machine tool under the IRPD brand."

Daniel Erni, managing director of IRPD, adds: "Given its stable reproduction conditions, accuracy, quality, and scalability, the IMPACT 4530 is the first industrial-grade additive machine tool to bear the 'Made in Switzerland' label.”

The high repeating accuracy is reinforced using smart software, as the new machine is already equipped with the new Customer Oriented REvolution (C.O.R.E.) technology. The Group's innovative hardware and software architecture enables intuitive operation and networking with other machine tools and allows machines to prepare for production largely on their own.
