Formnext 2019 – Frankfurt (Germany)

Formnext 2019 – Frankfurt (Germany) At Formnext 2019, the world reference event for all those looking for solutions for next-generation industrial production that took place in Frankfurt (Germany), 19-22 November 2019, Robot Factory attended and presented all the news on the consolidated series of Sliding-3D, which sees the PLUS model, designed to guarantee maximum performance also using technologically enhanced materials that normally require extrusion temperatures between 280 °C and 450 °C, alongside to the standard model, already presented at the Formnext 2018 edition. But the real novelty of this year on the Robot Factory stand was represented by the newborn Silver Belt. It is with this new product, which will be distributed in a mounting kit starting from the end of November, that Robot Factory promises to spread the most innovative technology of the last years in the extruded filament 3D printing. The Silver Belt printer, as well as the professional Sliding-3D series printers, is a non-orthogonal coordinate system in which the construction plane does not coincide with the adhesion plane of the object to be printed. The X-Y plane is inclined with respect to the Z axis, therefore, the printing of each layer is inclined at a fixed angle with respect to this. This feature, together with the fact that the Z axis is a moving belt, allows the printing plane to move continuously with respect to the extruder, which in turn is inclined at 45° with respect to the plane, thus allowing to print objects in series , or very long objects, in an almost uninterrupted work cycle.

European Maker Faire – Rome 2019

Maker Faire Rome 2019 The seventh edition of the Maker Faire Rome, the European Edition, the digital craft fair, took place from 18th to 20th October 2019. Robot Factory presented the latest project: Silver Belt – “All Metal Kit” to build an FDM-45 3D Printer After several successful projects produced in kits since the first year of our experience and long lasting experience in the production of 3D Printers, we just presented the unique FDM-45 3D Printer equipped with a sliding print bed with the 45° inclined extruder, entirely achievable through an “all metal mounting Kit”. The first and only one that does not need any self printed plastic parts! If you want to know your 3D printer in all the details, but at the same time want to take advantage of the great advantages offered by the use of FDM-45 technology, now you can build your own using the Silver Belt Kit and when at the end the you will use it, the experience will be much more gratifying, since you will know every detail really well, but with the guarantee that every part of it has been perfectly engineered. With the Silver Belt kit you have the opportunity to build a 3D printer that maintains the same functional features as the professional Sliding-3D printer (awarded with the blue ribon ‘Maker of Merit’ at the last edition of the Rome Maker Faire), but at a cost really cheap!..

Maker Faire Zagreb 2019

Maker Faire Zagreb 2019 It took place during the 12th-13th October 2019 weekend, the first edition of the Zagreb Maker Faire. We presented the latest project: Silver Belt – “All Metal Kit” to build an FDM-45 3D Printer

Trieste Mini Maker Faire 2019

Trieste Mini Maker Faire 2019 On 25 and 26 May it took place at the Center for Theoretical Physics Abdus Salam (Icpt) in Trieste – Italy- the sixth edition of Trieste Mini Maker Faire. The event presented about 300 makers from all over Italy and from Slovenia, Croatia, Spain and the Czech Republic. The makers brought their ideas and inventions to the “fair” with the aim of bringing the world of science closer to the great public, because behind the science there is a process of discovery which is the same that then leads to the realization of these inventions. During the event Andrea Martini received the Special Jury Award, given to him by Alessandro Ranellucci, a reference point in the world of makers in Italy, for the project developed and produced by Robot Factory: “Sliding-3D – high temperature extruder block”. Sliding 3D Plus, suitable for printing in addition to the usual materials also technologically advanced materials that are extruded at high temperatures, as it uses the new extruder block equipped with a Type K – Class 1 – thermocouple mounted in the new heating block that allows the nozzle to reach temperatures up to 480 °C.

Mini Maker Faire Ljubljana 2019

Ljubljana Mini Maker Faire 2019 Robot Factory took part to the III edition of the Ljubljana Mini Maker Faire which was held Saturday 11th of May, 2019 in the Slovenian capital. Also in Ljubljana we presented the brand new printer Sliding 3D Plus, suitable for printing in addition to the usual materials also technologically advanced materials that are extruded at high temperatures, as it uses the new extruder block equipped with a Type K – Class 1 – thermocouple mounted in the new heating block that allows the nozzle to reach temperatures up to 480 °C.

Makers 2019 – Pordenone – Italy

Makers 2019 – Pordenone – Italy Also this year Robot Factory participated in the Pordenone – Radio Amateur 2019 Technology Fair, we were in the Makers area, the independent area dedicated to Fablab, Hackerspace, 3D printing, prototyping, electronics, etc. within the traditional Pordenone Amateur Radio Fair which took place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th April 2019. Many of the main territorial realities active in this field presented their services and products to the public of this 54th edition of the Fair. Great NEWS – at the Makers 2019 we presented an absolute premiere Sliding 3D Plus. Sliding 3D Plus is also suitable for printing in addition to the usual materials also technologically advanced materials that are extruded at high temperatures, as it uses the new extruder block equipped with a Type K – Class 1 – thermocouple mounted in the new heating block that allows the nozzle to reach temperatures up to 480 °C. In the Sliding 3D Plus version the extruder cooling system was upgraded and the quick nozzle change system was adopted. Furthermore, in the Plus version the belt is made with new materials that can withstand temperatures on the heated bed up to over 130 °C. Sliding-3D Plus has been developed to ensure maximum performance even using technologically powerful materials that usually require extrusion temperatures between 280°C and 480°C, such as Carbon Fiber, Glass Fiber, PPS, Thermec™, PEEK, Ultem™, etc.

Formnext 2018 – Frankfurt (Germany)

Formnext 2018 From 13th to 16th of November 2018, the additive manufacturing industry gathered together in Frankfurt, Germany for the annual Formnext tradeshow. In addition to the large and established enterprises noumerous companies more or less little of the 3D Printing Industry caught up this big event to promote both their brand new products and the future projects. Robot Factory presented the brandnew 3D printer Sliding-3D that uses the thermoplastic material extrusion technology, equipped with an “infinite” building platform and 45° extruder. The success was huge, large turnout of people interested in understanding in detail what the Sliding-3D printer can offer as different and incomparable technology. Thanks!.. to all the people who stopped at our stand to ask questions, also to congratulate for the validity of our product!

Maker Faire Rome 2018
