FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is 3D printing?
A: The term 3D printing covers many different types of additive technology. The terms ‘additive manufacturing’ or ‘rapid prototyping’ are often used as synonyms. When 3D printing is used to make components, material is added layer by layer – as the term ‘additive’ makes clear. This differentiates 3D printing from cutting methods whereby material is removed in order to make components (subtractive method). This makes 3D printing very economical in its use of material.
Q: What is a 3D printer?
A: A 3D printer is a machine with which a three-dimensional object can be made, for instance, by melting plastic or metal. No tools are needed. An appropriate design file (3D model or CAD file) is required for the manufacture of an object. The item is manufactured in the 3D printer based on this file.
Q: How long does a 3D printed component last?
A: The service life of a 3D printed component always depends heavily on the load and the material selected. Values such as torque, rotational speed, tensile load and compression load play a decisive role. The manufacturing process also has an influence on the durability of the component.
Q: How accurately can a 3D printer print?
A: The accuracy of a 3D printing part depends on the respective method and the quality of the printer. The filament used and the quality of the CAD data also play a role here. Compared to injection molding or machining processes, the possible deviations are greater in 3D printing. In the injection molding of plastics, tolerances in the tenth range are possible, and in the machining of metal, worked in the hundredths. Deviation tolerance is at least 0.1 mm in most processes. Often, confusing the terms “resolution” and “tolerance” results in misunderstandings. The resolution of a Polyjet printer of only 15 μm does not, for example, mean that the tolerance is just as low. Here you have to deal carefully with the different terms.

Q: How does a 3D printer work?
A: Basically, a 3D printer works much like a 2D printer that applies ink to a paper by means of a jet or laser. The 3D printing is an additive process in which material is gradually added layer by layer to create a three-dimensional model. There are several methods in 3D printing that work slightly differently. The starting point for 3D printing is the corresponding CAD data for the part to be printed.
Q: What does additive manufacturing mean?
A: Additive manufacturing describes a disruptive production process in which material is applied layer by layer additively to create a physical component. The basis of the layered structure are 3D CAD design data. Components are built layer by layer instead of being subtractively machined from a bar stock (e.g., milled, turned). The production process differs fundamentally from the conservative machining fabrication methods and often results in the saving of material and weight and thereby generally avoids unnecessary waste of material. The meagre selection of material currently available in 3D printing still covers the most common material classes such as metals, plastics and composites.
Q: What are the dimensional deviations in the various 3D printing?
A: SLA (stereolithography): ± 0.2 % (with a lower limit of ± 0.2 mm)
Q: Why use wear-resistant 3D printing components made of iglide plastics?
A: For manufacturing with 3D printers, you can choose from a wide range of technical plastics. Tribology know-how accumulated over decades is included in the development of our polymers. That way, you can find the iglide high-performance plasticwith the perfect specifications for your application. For example for high loads, contact with food, media resistance or high temperatures. All iglide high-performance plastics do without lubrication and are tribologically optimised. That means that they have an outstanding service life and low friction.

High Quality

One of the most significant advantages of Modix large-scale 3D printers is carefully selected premium components, each of which contributes to high quality printing. These components include: Bondtech Extruder (Sweden Made), E3D Nozzles (UK Made), DUET3D Controller (UK Made), Trinamic Motor Drivers (German Made), IGUS Shielded Signal and Power Wires (German Made), Alcoa Cast Aluminum Plate Mic-6 (made in USA), Meanwell power supply (made in Taiwan) and more. Nearly every component in our large format 3D printers contributes to print quality and reliability, which is why we choose the highest component standards, even for the smallest parts, such as aircraft grade power adapters, durable castors, fiberglass reinforced belts, etc.

Heavy Duty

A key design factor in our large scale printers is the heavy duty design. Because our large format 3D printers are supplied as DIY kits, we place great emphasis on ensuring that the end user achieves the highest levels of accuracy and consistent calibration. This includes a very detailed online build guide with 3D models that can be rotated and scaled, several detailed video tutorials for each step, and more. In addition, we provide our clients with calibration methods and tools that help make this process as successful and as smooth as possible.

IDEX Dual Extrusion

IDEX's dual print head technology allows internal geometry to be printed using a dissolvable support filament. Once completed, you can dissolve the support material and enjoy high-quality results without the tedious manual removal of the support. With tear-off support, you can quickly remove the support immediately after printing is complete. In addition, you can enjoy the smooth surface of the bottom surfaces. With a secondary support thread, you can maintain zero distance between dense support layers and the model itself, so the surface will be much smoother than when printing support from the same material.

Customizable Platform

Modularity is our flagship concept. In fact, the Modix brand is called "modular technology". At Modix, we're constantly making new optional add-ons available to easily add to your printer, including air filters, multiple printhead configurations, and more. There are several additional setup guides on our customer's online services portal.

Wide Choice

Our Griffin printhead offers a wide range of nozzle and heater block configurations. Modix offers three heat block sizes: the default high performance Griffin hot end, the short E3D-V6 hot end for detailed fine prints, and the E3D Super Volcano for rough and fast 3D projects. Each of the thermoblocks has several options for nozzles, some of them are offered as part of our set. Other materials can be purchased directly from the E3D online store, such as high-quality hardened steel nozzles that can print with abrasive filaments (such as filament containing carbon fiber).

Open Architecture

Our clients are not locked out! Modix believes in freedom of choice, especially for passionate innovators. Users can select filament from any source and use a variety of modeling and slicing software solutions to suit their needs. We recommend the Simplify3D slicing software, but recognize that users may have other software preferences such as Cura and Slic3r. They also work great and are compatible with our larger 3D printers. Our customers are provided with print profiles for each of these slicing software packages.

Self Assembly

Self assembly is the preferred method of purchasing a 3D printer for many professionals for several reasons. Practical approach - you build your own machine to better understand the motion system, print head and calibration. You will gain invaluable insight into how to maintain your printer and how to upgrade it in the future. Just like your PC's operating system, Modix large format 3D printers are specifically designed to be customized and adapted to your specific needs.

Future Ready

We are constantly developing and innovating, so when you buy a Modix 3D printer, you are actually investing in a platform that can be upgraded from time to time. Owners of earlier versions are now offered the benefits of our latest version (Generation 4.0). This alone improves the long-term sustainable use of the printer and increases your return on investment.

Large Benefits of 3D Printer

Experienced 3D printer users who already own one or more small desktop 3D printers and are now looking to expand their printing capabilities should consider the following unique advantages of large format 3D printers:
1. Printing large, one-piece 3D models makes them stronger.
2. Printing models as one part also saves post-processing time. There is no need to fit smaller pieces together or try to hide a seam.
3. Another unique advantage of the large printbeds is the fact that you can print multiple small items in one batch. Batch production can be set up to complete one object before starting another ("sequential printing") for greater reliability.

Premium Support since 2015

Modix prides itself on its prompt and professional support!
We believe that any product is only as good as its service, and since the beginning in 2015 we have worked hard to maintain this concept. If received, help requests are cleared daily. If necessary, videoconferencing sessions are scheduled to better understand the ground situation. This saves time both in understanding the problem and in quickly finding a solution.
