RS Components has added an array of 3D printers and print technologies to its product offering.
The new introductions are from 3D Systems, and include the following:
Second generation Cube – a simple plug-and-play printer offering 3D printing capability with fast print speed and high accuracy for printed parts up to 14 cm cubed. It prints in two materials – compostable PLA and recyclable ABS plastics – available in a variety of colours.
Cube offers a choice of print mode fill density: light, medium and solid in both PLA and ABS plastics with optional easy, peel away supports for the most complex prints. Certified to IEC 60950 for safe-at-home use, the printer uses a smart cartridge system that detects material type automatically based on the cartridge, so no adjustment of the print settings is required. RS is stocking PLA cartridges for Cube in a selection of nine colours.
CubeX – a desktop 3D printer, offering the largest print volume in its category and mono-, dual- or triple-colour printing. It provides professional printability with 17 500 cubic centimetres of space, or 27,5 x 26,5 x 24 cm.
Print mode options include a choice of accuracy – high definition (125 micron), crisp definition (250 micron) or standard definition (500 micron) – and print fill density of light, medium or solid.
CubeX prints in both PLA and ABS plastics, and is available in multiple colour options: the basic CubeX single colour: CubeX Duo, offering dual colour and materials; and CubeX Trio, the top-of-the range triple colour, multi-material option. Like all 3D Systems printers, CubeX uses the smart MoistureLock cartridge system. Ten CubeX PLA cartridge colour options are available to purchase from RS.
Sense – the first 3D scanner designed for the consumer and optimised for 3D printing. Sense is handheld, and delivers precise instant physical photography, processing data in seconds for an instantly 3D printable file. It comes with an intuitive user interface with easy and automated zoom, track, focus, crop, enhance and share tools. Sense can scan objects ranging from 20 mm³ to 3 m³, making it possible to capture people, objects and places on the go.
