Powderless DTF is moving from pilot trials to real production. The concept is straightforward: replace hot-melt powder with a printable adhesive to achieve a softer hand, finer detail, and cleaner workflows. Across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, many OEMs and integrators are testing powderless alongside conventional setups, but success hinges on process, not hype. Key questions: wash fastness depends on adhesive penetration and a precise thermal profile; the oven matters more than ever (tight control and stable film temperature beat guesswork). In DTF, technique > chemistry—channel order, laydown, RIP limits, and press time/pressure can make or break results. Costs aren’t automatic wins: adhesive consumption varies with coverage and passes, while stricter curing can raise energy and maintenance. Also verify printer readiness (head layout, waveform/rheology compatibility, RIP control) and film selection (surface additives may contaminate the interface). The upside is compelling: reliable foil/laminate application, the possibility of sublimated metallics on polyester by printing adhesive directly onto foil with tuned sublimation inks, and a hand often comparable to good DTG.

From High-Performance Tapes to Industry-Ready Solutions Tapes do more than hold things together — in today’s industries, they support bonding, sealing, protecting, shielding, and assembling with precision and reliability. We work with a wide range of tesa® materials, including: ▪️ Anti-slip tapes ▪️ Conductive and flame-retardant tapes ▪️ Double-sided, foam, and cloth tapes ▪️ Optically clear, light-blocking, and removable tapes ▪️ Aluminium foil, structural adhesives, and dispensers These solutions are used across sectors like: • Automotive – bonding, surface protection, wire harnessing, lightweighting • Electronics – display assembly, EMI shielding, thermal management • Healthcare – skin-friendly adhesives and device integration • Construction – façade, window and door sealing, interior finish • Printing & Packaging – plate mounting, splicing, and sealing At H-Splitter, we convert these materials into application-ready components that meet industrial requirements — with the right shape, function, and performance, ready to integrate into your workflow. #tesa #adhesivetapes #adhesiveconversion #industrialsolutions #automotive #electronics #construction #medicaldevices #printing #packaging #hsplitter #diecutting #assemblyintegration

Even small deviations in plate washout or exposure can cost you thousands in wasted materials and inconsistent print quality. The new MAGIS PRO‑Eco 300+ helps reduce that risk by making every step (exposure, washout, drying, and finishing) more consistent and less manual. If you're still juggling multiple units for platemaking or struggling with unstable results, this is your signal to rethink your setup. Want to see how this all-in-one system helps printers improve efficiency, save water, and achieve sharper prints?

SLM metal printing gives great strength and design freedom (thin walls, internal channels, lattices), while die casting usually offers better surface finish, fatigue life and far lower unit cost at scale. Which factor most determines your process choice for a structural aluminum component? 🔘 A — Mechanical performance (tensile & fatigue priority) 🔘 B — Cost & scale (lower $/part at 500+ pcs) 🔘 C — Geometric freedom (internal channels, lattices, consolidation) 🔘 D — Surface finish & minimal post-processing (as-cast quality) Quick context: SLM AlSi10Mg commonly shows superior tensile numbers vs typical die-cast alloys, but cast parts often outperform in fatigue and surface Ra (as-built SLM Ra can be an order of magnitude rougher without post-processing). Lead-time and break-even also vary widely (AM wins at low volumes / fast turn; die casting dominates at high volumes). What one validation would convince you to switch processes — tensile/fatigue test, life-cycle cost model, production lead-time, or a pilot run? Share your experience. #Manufacturing #AdditiveManufacturing #Casting #Engineering #ProductionPlanning #HoteanCNC

🚀 AMCM M 8K Prints Big - Solukon Finishes Bold: Precision Depowdering for Ultra-Large Parts Scaling LPBF to ultra-large formats is a complex challenge and depowdering is a key puzzle piece. The AMCM M 8K expands the build volume to 800 × 800 × 1200 mm - while maintaining consistent gas flow, precision, and productivity. Depowdering: A Key Puzzle Piece Printing large, intricate parts is one part of the story. Removing residual powder - especially from internal channels - is the other, and it's critical for functionality and safety. 👍That’s where Solukon’s SFM-AT1500-S comes in. Solukon Maschinenbau GmbH scaled their system to match the size and complexity of M 8K parts, automating the depowdering process with precision. Watch the ultra-large copper rocket engine being depowdered - an impressive example of how advanced post-processing completes the AM workflow.
