The Creator 3 is a professional fully enclosed large format high performance 3d printer driven by a direct drive Independent Dual Extruder (IDEX). It is an easy to use, capable and highly versatile desktop 3d printer.
The Creator 3 is a versatile platform for designers and engineers that can print with advanced technical plastics with industrial results. Engineered for printing prototypes, manufacturing aids and functional end use parts.
Print high temperature engineering materials within the passively heated enclosed build chamber.
The intuitive FlashPrint slicing software includes optimised printing profiles for a diverse range of engineering materials including flexible, high strength, high temperature and composite materials as well allowing users to generate custom profiles for 3rd party materials.
Print multi-material and multi-colour parts with IDEX dual extruding technology.
Print complex geometry and internal cavities with ease using soluble support structures.
The Creator 3 is effectively two printers in one. Print duplicate or mirrored parts at the same time effectively halving build times.
Single Extruder- 300 x 250 x 200 mm (15 Litres)
Dual Extruder- 300 x 250 x 200 mm (15 Litres)
Duplicate Mode- 133x 250 x 200 mm (2x 6.6 Litres)
Mirror Mode- 133x 250 x 200 mm (2x 6.6 Litres)
Flashforges' dual independent extruder technology is capable of gives unparalleled performance and reliability. Printing with two materials, you can produce technical parts with complex cavities and overhangs supported by specialised support materials.
When one extruder is in operation the second extruder can move away from the build area, ensuring no cross contamination of materials. As the second print head returns to the build area a nozzle purge and wipe function ensures minimised cross contamination and clean precise parts.
The Creator 3 empowers creativity by enabling designers to produce multi-colour and multi-material parts. Print hard and soft materials together into one print.
The infill and external materials can be printed in different materials enabling variations in mechanical and physical properties.
Print parts at twice the speed. Print duplicate or mirrored parts at the same time effectively halving build times. Effectively two printers in one. Ideal for low volume production parts.
The Creator 3 offers unparalleled reliability with a flexible platform for designers and engineers.
With dual independent extruders it offers the freedom to realise complex model geometries that require support materials that can be washed away.
Flashforge produce specialised support materials that enable you to print with complete dimensional freedom in design.
The heated bed reaches temperatures of up to 120°C to ensure adhesion of engineering materials.
The radiant heat of large bed passively warms the interior of printer which asks as heated build chamber. This significantly controls warping of 3d printed parts in engineering materials such as ABS, Nylon and Polycarbonte.
The direct drive dual extruders offer excellent material flow and precise control ensuring best in class print performance.
The Creator 3 is capable of printing a great diversity engineering materials from soft flexible materials through to high strength, high temperature materials up to 300°C.
There are no nozzles changes required to switch between materials.
A patented designed stainless steel extrusion and nozzle system ensures the Creator 3 can also print abrasive composite materials.
Printing Materials-
ABS ASA Flexible HIPS Nylons PA66 PETG PC PLA PP PVA TPC TPE TPU
Composite Materials-
Carbon Glass Wood Cork Metal Conductive Luminous
Through continuous testing, Flashforge engineers are developing an ever growing set of engineering materials and optimised preset configuratuons to use with the Creator 3.
3RD PARTY MATERIALS
The Creator 3 is completely open and capable of printing 3rd party materials. The Intelegent FlashPrint Slicing software allows you to make custm preset printing profiles.
Filament Run Out Detection
The Creator 3 detects when filament is running low. It will automatically pause, allowing you to replace a filament spool and continue the with the build.
Resume On Power Outage
In the event of a power failure during the print process, an internal energy storage will move the print head to the side to protect it from damage. Once power is resumed the printer shall prompt you to resume where it left off.
The rigid built platform of the Creator 3 now includes a magnetised base which secures the removable print surface.
The print surface is constructed out of spring steel plate.
Completed models can be easily removed without tools by flexing the plate.
The Creator 3 achieves clean precise multi-material parts with minimal cross contamination with IDEX technology.
When one extruder is in operation the second extruder can move away from the build area, ensuring no cross contamination of materials. As the second print head returns to the build area a nozzle purge and wipe function ensures minimised cross contamination and clean precise parts.
The Creator 3 uses induction sensors to measure and calibrate the height of the extruders to the print surface.
Before a print starts, induction sensors probe the printing surface to correctly calibrate of the bed surface, ensuring good bed adhesion and reliable printing.
When printing in duplicate or mirror mode, the Creator 3 ensures that both models print to identical heights. This is achieved by printing a sacrificial layer under the lower nozzle model.
A full colour LCD touch screen guides you through the printer set up and configuration.
The Creator 3 offers multiple ways to interact and control your printer.
Send files via USB directly, or choose to send files through your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
You can event send files and monitor prints from offsite through a cloud based interface from any web enabled smart device.
