RS Components has launched a new, more advanced model of its own branded IdeaWerk 3D printer.
The affordable RS IdeaWerk Pro is capable of handling multiple types of filaments, including flexible, PLA, ABS, PA/NYLON, PC, HIPS and PVA.
The new model has many features in common with the IdeaWerk FDM, which is itself selling at a reduced price. These features include build volume of 150 x 150 x 140 mm; minimum layer resolution of 0,18 mm; and maximum print speed of 30 mm³ per hour, which makes it one of the fastest 3D printers in its class. Moreover, in addition to offering multiple filament options including the popular PLA material, the RS IdeaWerk Pro features a heated bed that can handle 0°C to 120°C and high-temperature extrusion up to 300°C.
Additional capabilities, available via the touchscreen, include temperature adjustment of extruder and heated bed; control of filament (in/out) and XYZ-axis movement; progress and status display; and temperature unit selection. Designed to handle tough print jobs and deliver high print output, plus offering a robust and sturdy construction, the IdeaWerk Pro is easy to use and also lightweight enough to be portable.
The printer can be used in either online or off-line mode with connectivity via SD card or USB. It is compatible with Mac OS and Windows OS versions including XP, Vista, 7 and 8/8.1, with no additional software or accessories necessary.
