Handles both low- and high-temp thermoplastics
Operates at temperatures up to 450°C
60" vertical stroke for tall part production
Self-contained fume and smoke collection system
 
5-Axis Trim Gantry:
72" vertical stroke
362° horizontal and 270° vertical rotation
Multi-axis feed speeds up to 2,100 inches per minute
High-performance 24HP, 24,000 RPM variable-speed router
12-position automatic tool changer located under the gantry
Automatic lubrication system for reduced maintenance
High-tolerance automatic tool length sensor
Superior chip collection system
Can print and trim at the same time — no part relocation needed
 
Three Print Orientations:
Vertical Layer Printing (VLP): Print full-length parts in a single section
Standard Horizontal Printing
