ADDITIVE DYEING SYSTEM - Plant for automatic dyeing in additive manufacturing
Specifically designed for the dyeing of 3D printed parts, the new 3DWAVE machine is the ideal solution to obtain exceptional results and maximise productivity.
The innovative immersion dyeing system guarantees precision and even colour.
3DWAVE is the perfect ally for companies that work with 3D technology and need an efficient, reliable machine.
ADVANTAGES
- ALL-IN-ONE: pre-rinsing – dyeing – rinsing – hot drying
- OPTIMAL DYEING OF COMPLEX SURFACES: thanks to the Rotowave system
- LOW OPERATING COSTS: energy consumption, dyeing and disposal
- HIGH PRODUCTIVITY: 1 complete cycle in less than 60 minutes
- WORKPIECE HOLDER: with lid for partial filling
EFFICIENCY… AND MORE
- EASY TO USE: automatic process, no intermediate handling
- CUSTOMISABLE PROGRAMS: that can easily be created according to individual needs
- TOWARDS INDUSTRY 5.0: 3DWAVE analyses and stores daily electricity consumption, thus allowing for energy saving and optimisation
The 3D WAVE project, patent pending 2023, is the result of a collaboration between two long-established Italian companies TEKNOX & NORBLAST that have combined their experience and expertise to offer an innovative opportunity for additive manufacturing professionals.

PROCESS
The pieces are inserted into a stainless steel basket. The basket is equipped with a locking system at different heights that keeps the pieces inside and ensures they are not damaged during rotation.
Thanks to the RotoWave technology, which uses a partial immersion and continuous exchange system, the liquid is constantly in movement, allowing it to enter even the deepest recesses, improving the capacity of the dye to adhere to the surfaces, avoiding stagnation and streaking.
Thanks to the flexibility offered for the creation of customisable programs, the machine is able to operate automatically, with no intermediate handling.
