Printer brings increased print speed, quality

Edge Fusion3’s Edge fused-filament-fabrication 3D printer offers an enclosed cabinet protects users from hot surfaces, which can reach temperatures of up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit when printing high-temperature materials such as ABS and PC, and the cabinet door has an interlock feature that pauses printing when it is opened. Fusion3 tests and certifies a wide range of materials, including polylactic acid, ABS, PET and PET-glycol. With the addition of an optional magnetic tool plate and magnetic print surface, users can print with materials such as PP and 316L stainless steel.
