Smart3D offers high-temperature version of FFF printer

Macro HT Smart3D’s Macro fused filament fabrication printers have dual extruders and come in two models: a prototyping unit (PU) and a production module (PM). The PU is a single printer designed for use by an engineer or product developer in an office or lab setting, while the PM incorporates four printers built into a single cabinet-sized unit and designed to for low-volume production in a factory setting. Both offer identical print volumes and technical specifications.

What’s new? The high-temperature (HT) version. The HT version can print all of the materials of the original Macro printer and adds high-temperature materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK and polyetherketoneketone.

Benefits Streamlined development and production. Once a final design has been chosen from prototypes created by the PU, the information can quickly be sent to the PMs to begin full production. All of a company’s Smart3D devices are interconnected via a decentralized, serverless network that protects against outages that could compromise the network, and encryption is employed to ensure a secure connection. The networking and the physical design of the PMs makes it easy to scale up capacity as demand increases. The printers are easy to service, with electronic and mechanical modules designed for easy replacement to minimize downtime.
