CUBEX 3D PRINTER FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The CubeX 3D Printer creates the model by pulling filament from the cartridge through the print jets via the delivery tubes.
The filament is then jetted through the print jet tip in a thin string of molten plastic. The print jet movement is coordinated
by the print plate, which lowers incrementally after each layer is deposited so a new layer can be drawn on top of the last,
building the part up .

PRINT MATERIALS

The CubeX can use two different types of print materials: PLA and ABS. Each material has unique benefits and you can
guide your selection based on the properties your part requires .
PLA
This is a hard plastic that has a low environmental impact . It is derived from renewable, starch-based
resources .
We recommend using PLA when printing extra-large parts on CubeX as it is a more stable print
material .
PLA is the optimal support material for industrial ABS parts . PLA has the ability to dissolve away in
caustic soda solutions supported by an ultra-sonic tank . (see page 36 for more information)
ABS This is a well-known plastic known for its strength and industrial properties .
As a build material, ABS is good for both small and large parts .
ABS works as an excellent support material for extra-large PLA parts .
