RS Components has extended its portfolio of high-quality 3D printers with two new high-reliability units from Zortrax, suitable for a wide range of professional users. The printers provide design engineers with the ability to produce detailed, accurate and cost effective rapid prototyping of their designs, enabling a shorter development process and quicker time to market. Engineers can quickly produce concept mock-ups, prototype products for functional testing or even small production runs for a variety of applications across many industries such as automotive, industrial or robotics.
Employing single-extruder LPD (layer plastic deposition) printing technology, the Zortrax M200 and M300 3D printers are reliable, efficient and offer exceptional quality with high dimensional accuracy and repeatable precision. This enables the high-quality printing of detailed elements that duplicate models without any loss of the original appearance, as well as completing extensive print jobs with almost no maintenance.
The M200 pack is a fully integrated plug-and-play system that allows users to get up and running immediately and includes the 3D printer, starter kit, dedicated intuitive software bundle Z-Suite, and compatible material. Specifications of the M200 include: workspace dimensions of 200 x 200 x 180 mm; 90 to 400-micron resolution, wall thickness capability of 400 microns (minimum) to 800 microns (optimum); and single printable point resolution of 400 microns. Other key specifications include material diameter of 1,75 mm and a nozzle diameter of 0,4 mm.
Physical dimensions of the printer are 345 x 360 x 430 mm without the material spool and 345 x 430 x 430 mm with the spool. In addition, there are a number of extra options available including the Hotend V2, perforated plate V2, and side covers, which keep a stable model temperature during the printing and cooling process to reduce the risk of warps and cracks.
The M300 builds upon the capabilities of the M200 and offers a larger workspace with dimensions of 300 x 300 x 300 mm and 140 to 300 micron resolution, optimal wall thickness dimension of 800 microns, and single printable point resolution of 400 microns. The M300 pack comprises the printer, side covers, starter kit, key to Z-Suite software, and two spools of material.
