OPTIMUM - OPTImill

2 The OPTImill 3X Allows You to Create Tangible Objects via 3D CAD Files Printing Instead of Milling Convert your CNC milling machine into a fully operational 3D printer within minutes. The OPTIMUM print head OPTImill 3X upgrades your machine to a top-class 3D printer! The included software Cura is capable of reading and converting 3D models, and translating them into a machine-compatible G code. That means the components are being programmed with Cura and outputted to your machine via an add-on software. Our concept has the great advantage that the wire feeder is controlled by the spindle speed. Accordingly, we are able to slow down and accelerate in corners leading to excellent results. By using the tool path preview and controlling the feed rate we are able to print substantially faster than our competitors while maintaining consistent quality. Three times the printing speed while maintaining or improving quality. A setup time of 20 minutes* – an easy installation thanks to the 3D interface. Think Big – Print Big! The build space of your CNC machine allows you to print larger components than would be possible on a commercial printer. The advantage of our concept is that you can use your CNC machine conventionally by day, and by night you can profit from an effective machine utilisation avoiding downtimes. The two heating elements attached to the print head generate temperatures of up to 300 °C allowing the printing of a variety of filaments. Our printer can handle materials like PA, PLA, ABS, nylon, and carbon with ease. The OPTIMUM Print Head OPTImill 3X Offers Virtually Infinite Possibilities. Wether you need large or small 3D prototypes – due to flexibility and speed as well as the precicion of your CNC milling machine, production can be as cost-effective and flexible as possible. For programme creation we are using the 3D printing software Cura. The standard scope of supply includes filament of a thickness of 1,75 mm. For 2,85 mm filament you will be needing a retrofit kit for the print head. Moreover, you will benefit economically from our exchangeable printing jets. Unlike with other manufacturers, the assembly does not need to be replaced completely. PRINT HEAD OPTIMILL 3X MODIFIES YOUR CNC MILLING MACHINE INTO A 3D PRINTER *for Optimum CNC milling machines
