Ultimaker 2+ Extended

Ultimaker 2+ Extended

von | Jan 27, 2023 | 3D, 3D Printer, machine

3D printer based on the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) or Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process. This printer has one extruder so one material can be printed at a time. This 3D printer can run overnight. Build volume: 223 x 223 x 305mm

Always ask the fablab team before using the machine and we will give you all necessary information about working safety.

Official tutorials on youtube>>>

Start

You need a digital 3D model that you can export in .STL format.

Software

Before printing, you have to prepare your 3D model. For this purpose, the software CURA is available at the Fablab. You can also download CURA for free and install it on your computer.

Material 

Fablab has different materials (filaments) to choose from. PLA, TPU, PVA, Breakaway and some experimental filaments. You can also bring your own filament (D=2,85mm).

Costs

The costs depend on the material required and the time needed.

For more information consult our price list.

Vacuum forming machine

Vacuum forming machine

von | Jan 25, 2023 | 3D, Handmaschinen, machine

It`s a manual thermoforming machine for the production of negative moulds and for moulding objects. The machine heats thermoplastic films and stretches them over the mould by applying a vacuum. It disposes about programmable heating elements you can control via touchscreen and it`s possible to safe programs. The negative moulds should be heat resistant and solid as the hot thermoplastic films stretches over them. It has a moulding area of 430 x 280 mm and a height of 160 mm. After the formed part has cooled, air is forced between the mould and the sheet to help it release.

Vacuum forming is widely used for industries and applications such as chocolate or sweets molds, frames and covers of any kind, packaging for electronic devices and production of small plastic components.

Please be aware that the heating elements get really hot, so don`t put your hands in that area. Always ask the fablab team before using the machine and we will give you all necessary information about working safety.

Material 

PPlastic sheets up to ~6 mm: PMMA, PC, PE, HIPS, PETG & many more

Costs

2,00 € per machine use

Plastic bending machine

Plastic bending machine

von | Jan 24, 2023 | 2D, machine

A line bender enables the user to form a bend in a sheet of plastic up to 500 mm wide using a heating element. Once the plastic is hot, it can be moulded at any angle and placed in the separate cooling pad until it is cold.

Please be aware that the heating line gets really hot, so don`t put your hands in that area. Always ask the fablab team before using the machine and we will give you all necessary information about working safety.

 

Material 
  • Polyethylene (PE)
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
  • Polystyrene (PS)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polyamide (PA, also known as nylon)
  • Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
  • Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, also known as Teflon)

Costs

2,00 € per machine use
