Raise3D E2CF 3D-Drucker with Dual-Extruder

Raise3D E2CF

The E2CF is made with specially developed carbon fiber reinforced and breakable support filaments,
two dry boxes for material storage and improved extruders and nozzles supplied,
to ensure an effortless printing process for composite materials.

The E2 series printers can be easily integrated into a production environment,
as they connect to Raise3D's 3D printing software ecosystem,
the ideaMaker slicing software, the ideaMaker open software template library
and the RaiseCloud management software.

Based on the award-winning E2 3D printer, the E2CF was designed for printing with
fiber-reinforced materials and is optimized for carbon fiber. The E2CF meets the
Requirements of a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace and healthcare,
the parts with a high strength-to-weight ratio and consistently high performance in the
Must establish long-term operation.

Alongside the most comprehensive ecosystem in the industry, including IdeaMaker slicing software
and the print management platform RaiseCloud, as well as the most renowned functions of the E2,
like the IDEX technology, the flexible building board, the life cycle printing function, the door sensors
and the energy-saving mode, the E2CF has:

Double-gear extrusion: 

With twice the pull-in force compared to the E2 and made of hardened components,
which are specially optimized for the increased wear and tear when printing with fiber-reinforced filaments.

High-performance nozzle and feeding system:

The extruders and nozzles are functionally and mechanically improved for long-term use
and enable over 1000 hours of printing with Raise3D Industrial PA12 CF filament.

Stand-alone dry boxes:

To ensure a stable printing process, the E2CF is sealed with two separate
Dry boxes developed by Raise3D to cope with the high water absorption
of nylon and fiber-reinforced filaments to deal with. These dry boxes are on the printer
so that the materials can be stored with minimal humidity during printing.

New assisted automatic bed leveling process for fiber reinforced filaments:

Equipped with a high-precision optical sensor with improved accuracy
when calibrating the nozzle height, for better first layer adhesion and printing performance.

Together with the E2CF, the new filament will be Raise3D Industrial PA12 CF and
breakable carrier material come onto the market. The PA12 CF (density = 1.04 g / cm3,
Modulus of elasticity = 3.3, GPa, tensile strength = 72 MPa, impact strength = 12.5 kJ / m2)
enables users to manufacture parts that meet the requirements for light weight,
fulfill an accurate and long-lasting high performance with an excellent finish,
that requires little or no post-processing.

All of these properties make PA12 CF ideal for jigs and fixtures,
Construction tools and various industrial end-use parts.
In addition to these materials, other high-performance filaments are in preparation for
approval for use with the E2CF.

Nozzles with High Durability

The new silicon carbide nozzles have excellent wear resistance and thermal conductivity,
which will effectively lessen the abrasion the carbon fiber composite filament subjects
the nozzle to when printing, making the nozzle more durable.

*Nozzles made of other materials suitable for printing carbon fiber filaments will be launched in the future.


 

Dual Direct Drive Extrusion System

The gears are made of high-hardness steel and have been heat-treated for better wear resistance.

With a custom gear tooth profile, filament is firmly held in place to ensure that it does not
slip when extruding. The force of the system is enhanced to ensure the stability of printing.


 

Compatible with a Variety of Carbon Fiber Composite Filaments

The E2CF is compatible with Raise3D’s Industrial PA12 CF Filament and the high-performance
carbon fiber filaments certified by the Raise3D Open Filament Program, such as
PA CF/PET CF/PPS CF (printing Temp. between 280-300 °C) from BASF and LEHVOSS.

The Raise3D Industrial PA12 CF Filament is reinforced with short carbon fibers, and
exhibits excellent rigidity and strength, heat resistance, low warpage, and low water absorption.
Meanwhile, this material has an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, and will obtain enhanced
mechanical property and dimensional stability after annealing, which makes it suitable to replace
metal in the manufacturing of certain lightweight components.
