Large-Scale Innovation: Benchmark in 3D Printing
With the trade show motto “Maschinenbau is our Business”, Kurtz Ersa Additive Manufacturing (AM) made an impressive appearance at Formnext 2024. The message was clear and concise: The German mechanical engineering spirit is at the center and shapes the innovations that Kurtz Ersa brings to the world of industrial 3D printing. The Formnext trade fair remains the leading stage for additively manufactured solutions. For Kurtz Ersa Additive Manufacturing, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase the latest technology status and the in-house expertise to an international audience.
Flying-Ray axis system as a technological highlight
The highlight was the axis system of the Flying Ray: two swivel arms that position themselves with the highest precision and at the ideal angle above the powder bed. With this concept, Kurtz Ersa is taking large-scale 3D metal printing to a new level and demonstrating the progress that industrial mechanical engineering is making in additive manufacturing. The technical interest in this unique solution was evident in the discussions at the booth, where the functionality, performance and advantages of the technology for industrial production were enthusiastically discussed. Factors that play a decisive role in large-scale 3D printing for industrial applications. The schematic illustration enabled visitors to understand the functional principle of the advanced system and get to know the potential of the Flying Ray.


Focus on cooperation: synergies within Kurtz Ersa
Moreover, cooperation and interaction between the Kurtz Ersa Business Units played a major role in Frankfurt. Together with the Electronics Production Equipment, Moulding Machines and Automation divisions, Kurtz Ersa Additive Manufacturing demonstrated how synergies within the Group can set new standards. Examples of applications illustrated the successful collaborations that result from the interaction of these areas of expertise. The collaboration not only encourages technological progress, but also creates solutions that meet the specific requirements of industrial customers. The diverse competencies under the Kurtz Ersa umbrella strengthen the innovative power as a machine manufacturer and, above all, generate added value for customers.
