At ShapingBits, it is our desire to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing. The true potential of 3D printing technology can be reached only by accessing a variety of materials with properties matching given applications. We gave you, makers, engineers, and researchers, two families of multi-material 3D printers that bring, once only industrially available capability, to your desktop.
We have designed 3FXtrud Uno as a versatile and reliable platform, ready to print in a large number of engineering and renewable thermoplastics. Thus, hard, flexible, and soft (compressible) thermoplastics can all be printed by one machine.
We created 3FXtrud Duo as s true free-form fabrication 3D printer family, where by employing an universal dual extruder any geometry can be printed with the use of dissolvable support structures. With 3FXtrud Duo you can break the constrains of single extruder machines thus any 3D geometry with overhangs, bridges, internal spaces with internal objects, are all possible by using dissolvable support materials. Also, it uses a full enclosure of the build volume which makes possible large prints without warping due to thermal stress. We designed them with advanced features that allow you to print in an ever expanding range of materials that come to the market. They are the evolutive result of five+ generations of 3D printers extensively tested with every single material that we support.
