THE WORKING ENVELOPE

330 x 240 x 300 mm

Published build volume. Check orientation, supports and machine-specific margins when preparing a part.

MATERIAL CONTEXT

Match the material to the job.

Use compatible print cores and material combinations. Engineering and abrasive materials require their specified workflow.

FROM FILE TO PART

The workflow
around the printer.

Choose print cores, support materials and optional Material Station. Include drying, support removal and team software requirements.

Follow the manufacturer's handling, maintenance and ventilation instructions for the exact machine and material. A printer's build volume alone does not establish that it can make your part well.

ROBOT-BUILDING CONTEXT / PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOWS

What it could make for your robot.

Our application assessment based on the linked specifications. These are candidate uses, not tested parts or certified load ratings.

Good starting jobs

  • Team prototyping and dual-material fixtures.
  • Print-core-based workflows for documented engineering-material combinations.

Check before printing

  • Select the proper core for abrasive material and the intended support.
  • Support removal can dominate the time before the part is usable.

Budget beyond the machine

  • Printer versus Material Station and accessory package.
  • Cores, material conditioning and software/service scope.
