Flashforge adds faster, lighter new professional-grade 3D printer to the Guider 3 range

3D printer manufacturerFlashforgehas added a new high-throughput, large-capacity 3D printer to its Guider 3 range.

Known simply as the ‘Guider 3,’ the system follows hot on the heels of the指南3加,因为它使用融合细丝制造(FFF)来提供专业级别的零件。也就是说,与Driver 3 Plus不同,该Plus能够快速地制作雕像,艺术和电影道具,Flashforge的最新机器旨在满足小型企业的苛刻成本效益生产需求。

Featuring a CoreXY arrangement that supports a print speed of up to 250mm/s, and a material management system optimized for convenience, the Guider 3 is designed specifically to unlock streamlined production. In fact, Flashforge says, its system not only “greatly reduces printing time,” but enables adopters to “respond faster to customer demands,” and “seize market opportunities” whenever they arise.

Introducing a Guider 3D printing upgrade

Compared to theFlashforge Guider II 3D printer, the Guider 3 is 20% lighter and features a 21% faster print speed. While the frame of the machine itself is made from aluminum, its enclosure is constructed from lightweight, durable ABS and acrylic sheets. The minimalist design of this outer structure, therefore allows for the maximized use of the system’s internal space, thus facilitating its larger 300 x 250 x 340mm build volume.

To enable it to meet users’ small-batch production needs, the Guider 3 also incorporates an Equipment Management System that enables multi-machine joint control, as well as a real-time monitoring set up. Leveraging the unit’s in-built camera, adopters can observe the printing process through Flashforge’s proprietaryFlashPrint 5 software, and track the quality of prints as they happen.

For those seeking a personalized 3D printing experience, Flashforge is shipping the Guider 3 with both a glass platform and flexible steel build plate, thus allowing users to configure the system to their desired use case. The former, for example, features a smooth, flat surface that makes it easy to remove models with a shovel or scraper, while the latter is easier to bend and therefore better for larger parts.

指南3还结合了一个比其前身更方便的床位系统,该系统结合了辅助和自动化的调整,以允许用户在没有手动配置的情况下均匀打印的方式。同样,该机器的快速组装喷嘴结合了双齿轮挤出结构,该结构为其提供了更高的细丝喂食力,这非常适合防止堵塞。

通过所有这些升级的集成,Flashforge也没有忽略可访问性,而Deider 3的喷嘴则易于更换和维护,同时满足各种用途要求。鉴于其最新机器的尺寸,速度和开放性质,Flashforge表示,对于有限的预算和空间寻求人体工程学生产单元的工作室和小型企业来说,它可能是理想的选择。

Flashforge的3 d printing portfolio

Flashforge has spent the last eleven years building out a portfolio capable of meeting the needs of users ranging from consumers, right through to those engaged in professional or industrial-grade 3D printing applications. While the firm’s initialAdventurer 3Adventurer 4系统是为入门级市场制造的,它也继续推出更强大的双重排行Creator Pro 2创建者最大2.

The company’s efforts to build a turnkey 3D printing solution to meet different customer demands have culminated in its flagship system: theCreator 4.

Flashforge’s IIDEX (Interchangeable Independent Dual Extruder) machine features a 400 x 350 x 500mm build chamber with an advanced thermal-control system that allows users to print at a consistent temperature of 65℃. This facilitates good print quality, reducing shrinkage and warpage, and enables adopters to use over twenty different material types, including engineering materials as well as carbon or glass fiber composites.

On the professional-grade side of its business, Flashforge also continues to innovate with its Guider 3 series. Designed to address mid to large-format functional prototyping use cases, the指南3加features a distinct tall-format build volume. Much like the new Guider 3, the system is therefore able to streamline product R&D, as well as being well-suited to manufacturing long, thin props or models.
