Massivit 10000-G – transforming manufacturing of large parts

The Massivit 10000-G combines the full range of large-scale tooling applications available on the Massivit 10000 with extensive Gel Dispensing Printing applications for custom manufacturing and functional prototyping.

Automate your mold production

Conventional mold production processes – whether involving epoxy boards, plywood molds, or aluminum tooling – tend to be slow, costly, and reliant on manual labor. The Massivit 10000 brings digital transformation to the composite materials arena. Directly print industrial molds, thereby eliminating the need for a plug.

A range of large tooling applications

Print molds, master tools, jigs and fixtures for the automotive, marine, rail, defense, consumer goods, sporting goods, and construction industries. Produce open and closed custom molds for thermoforming, resin transfer molding (RTM), and reaction injection molding (RIM).

World’s 1st isotropic, 3d-printed mold

Unlike thermoplastic pellet and filament materials, Massivit’s epoxy-based casting material, CIM 500, offers fully cross-linked molecular bonds between casting intervals, delivering a true isotropic mold. CIM 500 also provides a high heat deflection temperature (HDT) and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).

FAQ - Massivit 10000 Series

The Massivit 10000 automates industrial tooling for composite material end parts or for Reaction Injection Molding or Thermoforming applications. The Massivit 10000-G, the most advanced printer, produces high-performance tools, end parts and prototypes.

The system was designed to overcome bottlenecks associated with conventional tooling methods. The Massivit 10000 allows for 80% faster production of molds, masters, jigs, and wash-away cores. It eradicates material waste and cuts overall tooling costs. Unlike other additive manufacturing technologies, the 10000 produces fully isotropic molds, thereby bypassing the challenge of “layers” associated with 3D printing processes.

The Massivit 10000 is designed to speed up tooling and custom manufacturing for industries including automotive, boatbuilding, railway, sporting goods, consumer products, and more.

Sika and Massivit co-develop casting materials for high-performance tooling. 4 casting materials are available for use with the Massivit 10000 series:

The system 3D-prints an outer sacrificial shell, in any given geometry, using a gel-based, acrylic photopolymer. The shell material is designed to crumble when immersed in water, allowing for easy removal.

Print volume: 4’8” X, 3’8” Y, 4’11” Z  or  1420mm X, 1116mm Y, 1536mm Z. 

Yes, parts can be connected to create one mold using the system’s own casting material as an adhesive or using any other suitable adhesive.

Fixtures such as locators, legs and flanges can either be printed as part of the single mold itself or can be added after printing the mold.

Full-scale production parts and mockups can be printed in any size (See case study). Parts can be easily bonded together.

Yes, you can print hollow models, end parts, and prototypes. You can also print complex washable cores for hollow composite parts.

Massivit offers a wide range of Dimengel acrylics including high-impact materials, transparent materials, high-resolution materials, and cost-friendly materials.

The Massivit 10000 includes the printing unit and a Casting Material System (CMS).

Daily maintenance of approximately 20 minutes is required including calibration, cleaning, and loading of any new material. Weekly maintenance of approximately 1 hour is needed for the printhead. 1 day per month of preventative maintenance is required for the Casting Material System.
