Revolutionizing Banking Equipment Manufacturing

As banking industry evolves from its ancient roots, institutions like Diebold Nixdorf are at the forefront of innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize their operations. A notable leap in this journey is the integration of INTAMSYS 3D printing solutions into their manufacturing processes.

Diebold Nixdorf, an American multinational leader in banking solutions and retail technology, is renowned for its automated banking products, including ATMs, smart safes, and inquiry terminals. Since October 2020, the company has partnered with FPFTech, a non-profit R&D institution, to incorporate additive manufacturing into their production processes, supported by INTAMSYS.

The decision to use 3D printing came from the need to bring more agility and flexibility to the development of our products. It allows rapid prototyping of complex components that previously required much more time and resources. Previously, we relied heavily on machining and building physical models, which honestly slowed down the development cycle. With 3D printing, not only have we accelerated this process, but we have also significantly reduced the associated costs.

It was no accident either that the company turned specifically to the INTAMSYS FUNMAT PRO 610HT, which has become the true workhorse of Diebold Nixdord. As demand for 3D printing has proven high at the company, the machines are running 24/7 all while ensuring precision, something for which the FUNMAT PRO 610HT is well-known.

Furthermore, with the FUNMAT PRO 610HT it was possible to ensure a superior surface finish for complex geometries. Thus helping Diebold to achieve more refined finishes that resemble injected parts to meet project specifications. High fidelity was also key with tolerance down to tenths of a millimeter, ensuring that parts not only fit perfectly, but also functioned as expected.

For this reason, materials were also crucial. FUNMAT PRO 610HT stood out for its ability to work with a wide range of materials, for the printing volume that fits perfectly into their projects and for not working with closed material cartridges, as it works with any brand of filament.

Last but not least, with the FUNMAT PRO 610HT, Diebold was able to work with a wide range of sizes. For example, some projects required small parts, but there was also demand for large components. One such example is the front panel part of an ATM that was able to take advantage of almost all of the available printing volume of the FUNMAT PRO 610HT (610 x 508 x 508mm).

Diebold Nixdorf recognizes the achievement attained by integrating 3D printing into its production process, underscoring enhanced competitiveness and adeptness in meeting stringent deadlines. According to the company, this consistency of uninterrupted printing with the FUNMAT PRO 610HT has additionally fortified Diebold Nixdorf's standing within the industry.

After thorough research and benchmarking, WEERG chose INTAMSYS as their supplier. The INTAMSYS FUNMAT PRO 410 met all their requirements with features like a heated chamber, dual heated nozzles, and a heated filament chamber.

INTAMSYS offered one single solution that got it all:

A robust printer with a sleek aesthetic finish, heated chamber, dual heated nozzles, and heated filament chamber.
Free and user-friendly software with incorporated printing settings (Click and Print experience) for a wide range of materials (from PA12-CF to PEEK).
Reliable support, and most importantly for WEERG, honesty and a true partnership.

WEERG also appreciated the user-friendly software with incorporated printing settings and the reliable support from INTAMSYS.

We accompany our customers in a professional manner throughout the entire project - from planning and design to the prototype or the production of a complete series. Combining our 3D printing processes with conventional component processing, post-processing and surface refinement of the prototypes, small series or even a trade fair exhibit is our daily business. Since the company was founded in 1995, our experienced team in Gross-Gerau has made a name for itself well beyond the borders of the Rhine-Main area. We are one of the leading service providers for everything to do with 3D printing and have more than satisfied customers from a wide variety of industries - from the automotive and consumer goods industries to mechanical engineering and companies from the medical technology sector.

Tank Holder

The tank holder is a new part in this year´s racing car. The part is printed on the FUNMAT PRO 610HT with the material choice of ABS. For the driverless disciplines, the team uses pressurized air to activate the brakes in an emergency. This year, they changed the concept of how pressurized air is stored, which required a new mounting solution. The tank holder is designed to solve this challenge.

Flap Ribs

Other 3D printed parts, using the FUNMAT PRO 610HT and PC material, are the flap ribs that play a crucial role in the construction of the car’s side wing. These ribs are glued into the carbon-fiber shells and incorporate threaded inserts for attaching the wing to the chassis.

While the team has used these ribs for years, they have redesigned for this season to accommodate changes in the aerodynamic shape of the wings. Using INTAMSUITE™ NEO and the 3D printing technology, they conducted topology optimization to achieve the lightest possible geometry, resulting in an organic shape that would not be possible to manufacture by milling.

The application of high-end filaments made of high-performance plastics such as PEI is not new to the field of 3D Printing. However, it requires both, a wide range of skills (materials and production) and the appropriate machinery.

Thanks to its large-format 3D printer from INTAMSYS, 4D Concepts can now process a wide range of high-end plastics with excellent thermal and mechanical properties for prototyping. Parts are out of PEI 9085.
