The revolutionary advantages of the SEAMHex 3D printer
Fast Manufacturing with hexapod printing bed
The SEAMHex 3D printer is a high-speed printer that can print at a remarkable speed of up to 1 m/s. Its hexapod table kinematics allow simultaneous movement in multiple axes, enabling 6-axis printing, tilting up to 45° and a torsional movement of 20°. With a heated print bed, you can adjust the temperature according to your requirements or the type of plastic used.
Reduced installation effort thanks to large installation space
Achieve more efficient production with the SEAMHex 3D printer, which offers a generous print area of 1,100 mm x 800 mm x 600 mm. Thanks to the large print area, you can easily print large parts in one operation, reducing assembly time. In addition, the machine’s stability allows for part weights of up to 100 kg, making it the ideal choice for the production of larger components.
Industrial applications with SEAM plasticizing unit
The SEAMHex 3D printer with the SEAM plasticizing unit opens up a wide range of industrial applications. With its advanced plasticizing capability, it processes various materials, including high-performance thermoplastics, for the production of durable and functional parts. With an impressive output of 10 kg/h, the SEAMHex ensures exceptional productivity and efficiently meets the needs of the industry.

FFF 3D printer vs. SEAMHex
The advantages of the extrusion unit and the Hexapod printing bed
Forget the limitations of small desktop FFF 3D printers and enter the world of industrial production with the SEAMHex. Experience a significant leap in speed, because the SEAMHex enables fast production of industrially relevant components. With its advanced technology and continuous development, the SEAMHex enables you to efficiently produce high-quality parts at an unprecedented speed.
FFF / FDM 3D printer
Only suitable for 3D printing of small parts or prototypes due to the low printing speed and extrusion capacity
Limited material selection due to the lower temperature performance of their small filament extruders
High costs due to the expensive filament and the substantial material waste caused by the support structures
SEAMHex 3D printer
High printing speeds and granule-based extrusion enable high productivity of industrial parts
High material compatibility (with reinforcing fibers) thanks to the extrusion-based 3D printing tool SEAM
High cost efficiency (up to 200 times cheaper) thanks to the use of pellets and the repelletization of residual material

The 3 key components of the SEAMHex 3D printer
The next level of industrial 3D printing
1. Machine concept
Experience the cutting-edge technology of additive manufacturing with the SEAMHex industrial 3D printer. The SEAMHex is a unique machine concept that sets a milestone in terms of efficiency and quality. With its unsurpassed dynamics and 7-axis kinematics, it is the perfect solution for many production areas. The SEAMHex industrial 3D printer underlines our continuous pursuit of innovation and technical excellence by setting a new standard in high-tech additive manufacturing with the unique SEAM extrusion unit.
2. Extrusion unit
The SEAM unit (from 1A Technologies) is revolutionizing industrial 3D printing. Integrated into the SEAMHex Industrial 3D Printer, it extrudes granulate material at high temperatures and removes them layer by layer through its nozzle. With an impressive output rate of 10 kg/h, its most notable feature is the patented bypass nozzle, which enables dynamic regulation of material output. This capability enables seamless transitions without plastic discharge. In addition, the discharged material is regranulated and reused, enabling sustainable production through a closed recycling loop. The extrusion unit can extrude various plastics, elastomers, polypropylene and even a PA6 with 40% carbon fiber content.
3. Hexapod printing bed
The hexapod table of the SEAMHex 3D printer is based on parallel kinematics, which makes it exceptionally fast. With a printing speed of up to 1 m/s, the SEAMHex is one of the fastest 3D printers in the world. Its hexapod kinematics offer 6-axis printing capabilities, including tilting up to 45° and torsional movement at 20°. The print bed is versatile and offers a heated option as well as a large print format of 1,100 mm x 800 mm x 600 mm. It can handle parts weighing up to 100 kg, making it suitable for various applications.
