PRUSA PRO AFS
Automated Farm System by Prusa Research is a 3D printing production facility, a perfect solution for rapid prototyping, small-series production and a wide range of industrial uses.
9 Fast 3D printers
The AFS is equipped with 9 fast CoreXY Input Shaper 3D printers, each with a print volume of 260×260×170 mm. The automated arm delivers finished prints into the integrated smart storage so the printer can resume operation as quickly as possible. If needed, it is possible to expand the AFS in increments of 9, allowing for increased printing capacity to meet growing demand.
Turn-Key Solution
PRUSA PRO AFS is a 3D printing production facility for both large and small businesses. With a wide range of supported thermoplastics and autonomous operation, the AFS is ideal for small-batch production, rapid prototyping, manufacturing of highly customized items, R&D and other areas. The internally developed software manages all parts of the production process.
Key applications
On-Demand Spare Parts
Produce spare parts only when necessary, reducing lead times and inventory costs.
Production parts
The AFS is capable of printing products for direct use or distribution.
COST-EFFICIENT OPERATION
- Begin production immediately: simply upload a print file and start. The farm will manage the rest.
- Wide range of supported materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA Polycarbonate, and more!
- Less waste, lower costs, and industrially compostable materials for more efficient production.
- Perfect for small-batch production, prototyping, research and development, and other fields.
- Simple operation and maintenance, user-friendly software for management.
From Concept to Reality
The Prusa Pro AFS was revealed as a high-tech prototype, our vision for the future of manufacturing, at the Dubai Expo 2020. Now, the vision becomes a reality. In Prusa Research, we run a manually managed 3D print farm with more than 600 3D printers in a constant 24/7 operation, so a fully automated solution was the next logical step. |
