The new X5 is an automated 3D manufacturing printer, which can turn your classroom or makerspace into a production line for continuous 3D printing. Specifically designed for schools that require to print hundreds of projects a week.
Key Features of the X5 Contin-U-Print 3D Printer
Automatically prints multiple projects by switching out build plates
Churn out print after print after print after print after print after print…Stack up and queue up to 12 build plates. Smart self-reloading build plates mean minimal human interaction is required for a hands-free, continuous 3D printing experience. All the user needs to do is to clean off the completed print platforms and then load the clean plate back into the printer (to print more than 12 jobs continuously)
Dual Filtration Systems means improved Health and Safety
Both PLA and ABS are “high emitters“ of UFP and VOC and it is essential for Health & Safety compliance that you have a safe environment to print in. Like the UP BOX+, with its first-in-class air filtration system, the x5 advocates safer 3D printing. With an improved Dual Filtration System, using both HEPA and Activated Carbon filters, it greatly reduces UFP and VOC density inside the printer
Total Control
Checking print job status has never been easier. The X5’s large 7” LCD touch screen reports print queue progress and the printer’s transparent top makes visual build confirmation effortless. Users on the network can spool their jobs to the integrated print queue.
Specifications of the X5 Contin-U-Print 3D Printer
Printing Technology: MEM (Melted Extrusion Modelling)
Dual Filtration System: HEPA and active carbon filters
Print Resume on Power Interrupt: Yes
Pause to change the type of filament: Yes
