Originally injected molded in nylon, with dual/over molded features to encase magnets in the end of its blades, the coolant flow impellor is complex and critical to the operation of the machine and measuring the flow of coolant throughout the system. PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a cost-effective option for prototyping, made from sugar cane oils, making this material environmentally friendly and industrially compostable. Markforged Precise PLA is ideal for design iterations, fit checks, concept models and visual-only parts that are not mechanically demanding. Precise PLA is available in eight different colours to create colour-coded prototypes, tool holders and keep out zones. Originally made from aluminium, the break-away bar deteriorated from thousands of hours of use. Rather than wait for a genuine part, we were able to 3D print a replacement break-away bar for the laser cutter at Laws Laser. The Markforged FX-20 3D printer is the largest we have at Laws Plus. This industrial grade machine is engineered to deliver maximum strength, accuracy and consistency. |
