德国初创公司ifactory3dhas upgraded and modified its debut conveyor belt 3D printer, the iFactory One, to launch its latest machine, the iFactory One Plus.
Designed for serial production, the One Plus features an upgraded extruder nozzle, modified belt tensioning system, changes to the cooling system, and is now capable of printing with flexible filament and at higher temperatures.
IFACTORY3D将在计划于第二季度的2020年第2季度的众筹活动中展示新机器。
“We have received a lot of positive feedback for our product from a lot of companies who would like to build up their own serial production with 3D printers,” said Artur Steffen, CEO of iFactory3D. “Therefore, we made several significant design changes to our device and enhanced it for serial manufacturing. What we achieved is the perfect solution for serial production of 3D printed parts.”

ifactory3d’s debut 3D printer, the iFactory One, offered hobbyists, SMEs, and entrepreneurs round-the-clock prototyping capabilities. After receiving substantial financial investment from business acceleratorStartPlatz, the company发起了众筹活动for the FDM conveyor belt 3D printer on Kickstarter in November last year.
In total, the Kickstarter project was supported by 434 backers which saw iFactory3D reach around 186 percent of its funding goal.
该机器具有特色的传送带，该机器具有（实际上）无限x 290 x 180mm的构建体积，并且在45°的可交换热台上倾斜，以减少对多个支撑的需求，尽管复杂的几何形状仍然需要它们。
将机器与竞争对手区分开来的一项功能是Ifactory3D自己的基于AI的嵌入式错误检测软件Printerguard。该软件能够从视觉上识别FDM打印过程中发生的五个最常见的错误，包括意大利面条，打印床脱离，零件翘曲，串行，串起和空气打印。
升级的ifactory One Plus
According to iFactory3D, the upgrades to the iFactory One have made the One Plus “one of the fastest” conveyor belt 3D printers on the market. In fact, the machine is able to print up to three times faster than its predecessor with little or no loss in print quality, thanks to an increased volumetric flow rate.
另一个钥匙之一升级了Ifactory One Plus的经历是用直接驱动器配置的原始Ifactory One打印机代替Bowden挤出机，以提高可靠性和打印质量。升级的喷嘴还扩展了可与机器一起使用的细丝范围，例如柔性细丝。
通过丢弃PTFE Inliner，可以进一步扩展兼容材料的范围，从而使机器能够在比以前更高的温度下打印。打印机冷却系统的更改也提高了整体印刷质量。
Finally, iFactory3D has modified the machine’s belt tensioning system, which in the original model could not be adjusted. Users of the One Plus can now tighten the belt as needed, with the technology making it impossible for users to tighten the belt unevenly.
