3D Stereo Lithographic Printer

3D SLA Printer ( Large)

Fully-integrated Factory Solution for Direct Digital Production

Leading Throughput

The combination of speed and accuracy complemented by a light-based UV curing process that takes minutes vs. hours with heat-based curing processes, yields the world’s fastest additive manufacturing throughput and time-to-part. Recent data highlights Production part print speeds up to 65 mm/hour, and prototyping speeds of up to 100 mm/hour, and part accuracy and Six Sigma repeatability cross all materials.

3D FDM Printer

Extrusion printing, sometimes referred to fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused granulate fabrication (FGM), starts when a thermoplastic feedstock—such as plastic filament or pellets—is forced through a heated nozzle, melting the material and depositing it on a print surface. Either the nozzle, the print bed, or a combination of the two are moved on a gantry in XYZ space, enabling the gradual creation of an object from the bottom up, layer by layer.

Extrusion 

The thermoplastics used in extrusion printing are available in a wide range of formulations from commodity plastics like PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, polycarbonate and nylon to aerospace and high-performance polymers for healthcare such as PEEK and PPSU. Elastomers and carbon-reinforced or glass-filled materials are also available. The open market for extrusion printing materials is expansive, but not every material is printable on every machine. The feedstock format, filaments or pellets, is a primary consideration, as well as maximum nozzle, bed and chamber temperatures.

Pellets

Thermoplastic pellets are the most affordable 3D printing feedstock available. Pellets also enable high speed printing with larger nozzles, making them the preferred feedstock for large-format extrusion additive manufacturing. Pellet printing also allows the use of highly flexible elastomers as well as high-percentage carbon and glass-filled plastics that are difficult or impossible to print with filament.

Filament

Most extrusion-based 3D printers use thermoplastic filament feedstock due to its convenience and availability from various suppliers. Filament is supplied on spools, making it easy to handle and store. Filament is the preferred choice for highly detailed parts and when a clean surface finish is essential.
