- ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐๐: These models also feature a closed high-wall
configuration with doors on each end, equipped with dual controls and dual gantries for separate print and trim operations. Perfect for maximizing productivity! - ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐: Designed with an open configuration, it has a single fixed gantry over a moving table, integrating print and trim functions seamlessly.
- ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐/๐๐๐: These systems offer an open configuration, with optional enclosures available. They focus on printing only, with a fixed gantry over a moving table, ideal for specialized tasks.
