Details
Now you can 3D print fiberglass parts faster and cheaper than machining. For load-bearing applications that require real strength, these parts make the grade.
Featuring the unique dual nozzle print system, the X5 unlocks the ability to weave a strand of continuous fiberglass throughout a part to make it as strong as metal. Add that to the all-aluminum unibody enclosure, ultra-flat gantry system, machined aluminum stage with kinematic bed coupling, motor encoders and calibration laser, and tie it all together with software.
20x Stronger Parts, Fast & Affordable
20x stronger and 10x stiffer than ABS. For applications where weak doesn't cut it, these parts are perfect for a wide variety of tooling, fixtures, and functional prototypes.
Replace mission critical machined aluminum with fiberglass 3D printed composite parts at 1/20th the cost. These tough parts nail the sweet spot of strength and affordability.
