Technology
5‑axis milling
The milling head machines prints and elements made of other materials to final dimensions – on the same machine, after a quick working tool change. A typical application is finishing moulds and models made of foamed polystyrene: printing gives a shape close to the target, and milling gives a smooth surface and accurate dimensions.
- Version
- Standard
Tool capabilities
Final dimensions
Machining a print with allowance to final dimensions and tolerances.
Smooth surface
Mould working surface ready for laminating.
Other materials
Machining elements made of other materials – also without prior printing.
Printing and machining in one
Printing and milling on one machine – after a quick tool change.
