New 3D Printer Provides an "Edge" with Breakthrough Speed and Print Quality
Fusion3 announces the availability of the company's new EDGE professional 3D printer. Reimagined from the ground up, the company claims the EDGE printer delivers on all fronts: best-in-class speed, large build volume, excellent surface quality, tight tolerances when printing high-temperature materials, ease of use, and durability for 24x7 operation.
"EDGE encapsulates Fusion3's nine years of industry experience, accumulated feedback from customers, and our vision for the changes needed to drive mainstream, commercial adoption of FDM 3D printing," says Kate Padgett, Fusion3 Founder & CTO. "With EDGE, we achieve astounding levels of speed, print quality, and durability through the upgrade of our F-Series Motion Control system with high-quality linear rails, the development of a new patent-pending print head system for greater performance and customer serviceability, and the design and implementation of new control systems to create better user experiences and ensure successful print outcomes."
Features of the new Fusion3 EDGE 3D printer include:
- Exceptional Print Quality & Speed: Validated through millions of operating hours with thousands of customers, EDGE utilizes Fusion3's "F-Series" platform, with upgraded motion control components including all-new linear rails, Gates 2GT2 belts, and specially tuned stepper motors.
- ANVIL Print Head System: Fusion3's patent-pending ANVIL print head system incorporates a surgical steel print tube instead of a traditional screw-in 3D printer nozzle. Use of a single print tube provides faster printing and is wear-resistant for use with abrasive filaments such as carbon fiber or fiberglass-reinforced filament.
- Large, Enclosed, Heated Print Area: EDGE's passively heated build area, which heats up to 70°C, can print parts as large as 14" x14" x14.5" (1.64 cu ft), ensuring excellent print results when printing high-temperature, engineering-grade materials such as ABS and Polycarbonate.
- Easy to Operate and Maintain: Successful print outcomes with EDGE start with its new bed leveling system. EDGE comes standard with a ¼" aluminum tool plate print bed and a standard glass surface. This reference surface, coupled with our proprietary, ultra-light touch probe, enables EDGE's mesh probe bed leveling system to ensure a near-perfect first layer for each print.
- Durable & Reliable: EDGE also features Fusion3's V3 extruder with a new belt drive system and upgraded filament detection monitor that can be tuned to different detection settings based on the material printed. Combined with the new linear rail system and bed leveling, EDGE is robust and durable for use in the most demanding environments.
- Widest Range of 3D Printable Materials: Fusion3's rigorous material testing and certification process ensures that customers will successfully print the widest range of materials purchased from a variety of quality suppliers. With the addition of an optional magnetic tool plate and various optional magnetic print surfaces, customers can now print new materials, including Polypropylene, PVDF, and 316L Stainless Steel.
- Focus on security: Many of Fusion3's customers wish to safeguard their proprietary and sensitive information within the 3D printing workflow. The company offers two versions of EDGE to meet the different security needs of customers.
- Safety & Comfort: The fully-enclosed EDGE protects users from contact with hot surfaces. EDGE includes a new door interlock feature, which pauses prints if a user opens the door. Fusion3 offers an optional HEPA & Carbon filter air filter for locations without adequate ventilation, which helps contain potentially harmful emissions.
