| Ultimaker, a 3D printer company, has unveiled two new products: the 0.25 mm print cartridge and 'Breakaway', a new 3D printing support material that, as the name implies, is easily detached from the printed part. The new Ultimaker 0.25-mm print core features an AA design specifically designed for printing high-detail and thin-walled objects on the Ultimaker 3. Dutch 3D Printing said the new print core can be used in a variety of applications including fine parts and tolerance fit components such as Printing bolts and nuts.  Ultimaker recommends using its own brand of PLA, ABS, CPE, Nylon, and PP materials with the new print core, while two-color or PVA support materials (with 0.4 mm core) are available for Ultimaker 3 or Ultimaker 3 extensions. However, thanks to another new version of Ultimaker, PVA support material will soon be over. Breakaway is a new type of support material developed by the company that was designed for multi-directional 3D printing and purported to be quickly and easily removed without post-processing, leading to a successful completion. Ultimaker Breakaway works well with Ultimaker ABS, PLA, Nylon, CPE and CPE + and has longer shelf life and lower humidity sensitivity than water-soluble carrier materials such as PVA. Paul Heiden, senior vice president of product management, said: 'Before we started developing new products at Ultimaker, we made sure that there was a real need for it, whether it's hardware, software, materials, or new services. To the problem, so even though our PVA material is still a good solution for a complex geometry and internal cavity that needs support for printed matter, we found that our users also need a supporting material to use Ultimaker Breakaway, which they can rigorously Speed up post-processing and immediately use new print objects and meet the need for highly detailed printing by developing smaller nozzle-size print cartridges. |
