Detailed Feature Breakdown

Click any feature to expand technical details, key specs, and impact on high-temperature material performance.

High-Temperature Thermal Systems

The thermal systems that make PEEK, PEKK, and ULTEM printing reliable and repeatable.

Technical Benefit

Reaches and sustains the temperatures required by PAEK-family polymers without PTFE degradation or heat creep.

Key Specs

Max nozzle temp: 500°C; hardened steel 0.4mm nozzle; all-metal hot end pathway.

High-Temp Material Impact

Essential for PEEK (350–400°C), PEKK (340–360°C), and ULTEM (370–395°C) processing temperatures.

Technical Benefit

Maintains first-layer adhesion for high-shrinkage polymers and prevents warping during long prints.

Key Specs

Max bed temp: 200°C; high-temp carbon fiber and borosilicate build plates included.

High-Temp Material Impact

Eliminates first-layer adhesion failures common with PEEK and PEKK on unheated or low-temp beds.

Technical Benefit

Slows the cooling gradient for semi-crystalline polymers, reducing internal stress, delamination, and warping.

Key Specs

Active chamber heating to 90°C; insulated all-metal frame retains heat.

High-Temp Material Impact

Non-negotiable for quality PEEK/PEKK/ULTEM prints — no heated chamber means failed high-temp parts.

Motion Systems & Precision

Industrial-grade motion hardware for dimensional accuracy and repeatability.

Technical Benefit

Commercial-grade linear rails eliminate flex, backlash, and vibration for consistent layer placement.

Key Specs

HIWIN linear guideways on all axes; XYZ resolution 10µm; layer resolution 7µm.

High-Temp Material Impact

Delivers repeatable tolerances on high-temp parts where dimensional accuracy is a design requirement.

Technical Benefit

Heat-resistant Kevlar belts maintain tension and don't stretch or creep under prolonged high-temp operation.

Key Specs

Ultra-wide Kevlar belts; max print speed 500mm/s; regular production speed 300mm/s.

High-Temp Material Impact

Eliminates belt-related artifacts in PEEK prints that run for 24+ hours at elevated temperatures.

Technical Benefit

Three independent Z motors actively level the bed for every print run without manual intervention.

Key Specs

Triple Z-motor; automated XY alignment probe; supports IDEX multi-head alignment.

High-Temp Material Impact

Critical for multi-material and soluble-support accuracy in complex high-temp assemblies.

IDEX Dual Extrusion System

Independent Dual Extrusion — the core productivity and capability advantage.

Technical Benefit

Two extruders move independently — enabling duplication, mirror, and multi-material modes.

Key Specs

2 independent X-axis print heads; automated dual-head XY alignment; IDEX-native firmware.

High-Temp Material Impact

Doubles throughput in duplication mode; enables soluble support for complex geometry in high-temp materials.

Technical Benefit

Print complex internal channels, overhangs, and undercuts with water-soluble supports, then dissolve them away.

Key Specs

Compatible with PVA, BVOH, and breakaway support materials on second extruder.

High-Temp Material Impact

Enables PEEK structural parts with internal cooling channels or complex aerospace geometries impossible with single-head FFF.

Build Platform & Environment

Large build volume, filtration, and chamber environment for production-grade parts.

Technical Benefit

Large, thermally-stable build surfaces for large functional parts with secure adhesion.
