Imprimante 3D Prusa i3 MK4

This digitally-controlled milling machine is used to produce parts or elements by removing material using milling cutters.
The Pocket NC V2-10 enables work on 5 axis and on a wide variety of materials ranging from machinable wax to G5 titanium, wood, 6061 aluminium and 303 stainless steel.

Features

• Machining strokes 115mm in X, 128mm in Y, 90mm in Z, -25/+135° in A, continuous rotation in B
• Spindle 200W 2,000 to 10,000 rpm
• Clamps ER11 and ER40

The Wazer is the first “desktop” waterjet cutting machine. The principle of waterjet cutting is simple: water is projected at extremely high pressure (between 4,000 and 6,000 bars), to which an abrasive agent (garnet sand) is added. The latter, carried by the power of the high-pressure jet, can reach a speed of Mach 2.5 (2.5 x the speed of sound) and thus enable the cutting of very hard elements.

Materials that can be cut with this machine:
Marble ( 12.7 mm Max) / Glass ( 15.8 mm Max) / Aluminium ( 12.7 mm Max) / Steel ( 4 mm Max)/ Silicone ( 12.7 mm Max) / High-density polyethylene (HDPE) ( 12.7 mm Max) / Carbone ( 6.3 mm Max) / Carbon fibres ( 4.78 mm Max).
This list is not exhaustive; please, contact us to check if your material is compatible.

Cutting surface:
305×460 mm

The 3D printing technology used at Fablab Descartes is FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling).
This technique consists in melting a filament of synthetic material, usually ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or PLA (Polyactic Acid) type plastic through a nozzle. A small wire of molten plastic with a diameter of about a tenth of a millimetre is deposited and forms the different layers of the 3D model.
In order to use these machines you must come with a 3D model created with CAD software (Solidworks, Blender, Freecad, Fusion360, Onshape, etc.) in .stl or .obj format.
You can also take part in one of our training courses or come and practice at Fablab to create your 3D model.
You will then have to pass your file through the slicer of the machine in question (Simplify3D, Cura or Slic3r) to generate the Gcode which will be interpreted by the machine.

Machines and features
All our 3D printers have a heated platen to improve the hold of the part on its support.
