Commendable Upgrades of Metal 3D Printers

Technological advancement has made 3D printing grow massively in recent years. As a result, 3D printer manufacturers have created new and affordable metal 3D printers for sale and various compatible materials. This kind of 3D printer is quite popular in the automotive, aerospace industries, and so on, which enables printing more complex parts at a relatively high speed and admirable quality compared to the traditional manufacturing process.

The extensive use of metal 3D printers has made them very useful and popular. Snapmaker’s signature is an all-metal design 3D printer; they are made of high-performance aluminum alloys and processed with anodic oxidation, which in the long run features supreme durability and reliability. Currently, many changes and improvements have been made to metal 3D printers. And these upgrades are essential and make this making machine an extraordinary piece, which has impacted the metal 3D printer price. For example, Snapmaker’s metal 3D printer has the following upgrades as discussed in this article;

  • Addons

The Snapmaker 2.0 series has been designed to be expandable with dedicated modules or addons to give it a personal touch. The addons include;

  • Snapmaker rotary module
  • Snapmaker 2.0 emergency stop button
  • Snapmaker 2.0 enclosure
  • Snapmaker air purifier
  • Snapmaker CAN hub, which realizes modularity and guarantees efficient and stable data transmission
  • 10W high-power laser module
  • Cooling system

The cooling system of a metal 3D printer has been upgraded to combine fast speed and commendable accuracy simultaneously. This makes it possible to print larger objects faster and have a sturdier working environment.

  • Motion controlling algorithm

Improvement of coordination between the extruder and the linear modules is possible with the upgraded motion controlling algorithm. This upgrade reduces the cracks and gaps problem. On the other hand, it ensures quality production even during high-speed printing.

  • Lead optimization on linear module

To enable a stable and fast working speed, Snapmaker increased the leads of the axes', that is, X and Y screw rods, from 8 mm to 20 mm.

  • Noise reduction chip

It is usual for a given noise to be produced by the machine during the making process. Therefore, Snapmaker embeds a TMC2209 stepper motor driver hence substantial noise reduction. Meaning you can focus entirely on your design and making without disturbance.
