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

Thermal sublimation is a rapidly growing in popularity and capability.
The images are printed in a mirror image, using a special printer, on a heat-resistant transfer paper. Once printed, the images are transferred to the final substrate using a heat press.
You can book our sublimation printer alone and come with your sublimable objects, or you can book directly and include an object to sublimate, provided by us: mugs, mouse pads, t-shirts, caps and masks.
You can also join one of our training sessions.

Please specify the type and number of objects you wish to sublimate in the “total duration desired” section.

Price of a consumable + printing:

Only the first 15 / 30 minutes will be charged at the time of booking. The balance is can be paid on site at Fablab’s.

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.

The digital embroidery Brother Innov-is NV2600 machine can be used both manually (like a conventional sewing machine) and by numerical control (to make designs, images or text, embroidered on your fabrics).
It is also possible to create your own designs to be set up on the proprietary software of the PE Design machine.
