SAAM is optimized for carbon-fiber com-
posite 3D printing. It boasts a 6061 Alu-
minum and Steel frame and a heated bed
temperature of 90°C (194°F). SAAM offers
FFF 3D printing and can form any shape
imaginable. It is certified to print in Carbon
Fiber Nylon and PLA.
The SAAM HT has the same ease and speed
of the SAAM machine but offers more pow-
er and a wider range of options. It features
the ability to 3D print in ULTEMÔ 9085
PEI, PEEK, CarbonXÔ, Carbon Fiber-Nylon,
Makeshaper PLA Spool or any thermoplas-
tic up to 500°C (260°F). All of these options
make the SAAM HT the most affordable
solution for 3D metal fabrication, wheth-
er you’re looking to create prototypes or
strong, functional parts.
On display alongside the SAAM machines
will be a 3D printed trim tool that was
created on CI’s BAAM (Big Area Additive
Manufacturing) machine. BAAM made
its debut at IMTS 2014 with partners Oak
Ridge National Labs and Local Motors, and
the world’s first 3D printed car drove off
the showroom floor. Tooling applications
have proven to be a good fit for additive
manufacturing machines. Users have the
ability to quickly, inexpensively and repeat-
edly produce a needed tool.

SAAM and SAAM HT additive manufactur-
ing machines, visit Booth #1517 at RAPID +

able employees.
