HOW THE FREEFORMER WORKS?

Using tiny droplets to create fully functional parts

ARBURG Plastic Freeforming (APF)

In the APF process, qualified standard granulates are melted using the same method as in injection moulding and are discharged as tiny plastic droplets. The more densely the droplets are positioned in relation to one another, i.e., the more tightly the parts are “packed”, the higher the mechanical properties.
