DUAL PERFORMANCE EXTRUDERS
Featuring lengthened thermal cores, optimized torque, and an industry-leading sensor suite.
CIRCULATING HEATED CHAMBER
Controls the heat of every layer as it’s printed to provide dimensional accuracy, improved layer adhesion, and greater part strength.
Dry-Sealed Material Bays
Dry-Sealed Material Bays form a near-perfect seal to keep material free of damaging humidity.
PRECISION DISSOLVING PVA SUPPORTS
Precision Dissolving PVA enables fast and easy support removal without compromising part design or dimensional accuracy.
5″ Touchscreen
With the built-in 5″ colour touchscreen display, receive up-to-the-second status of your current print job and navigate menus in the most intuitive way.
Spring Steel Build Plate
A precision-calibrated print base and spring steel build plate provide true flatness for unyielding part accuracy.
