easy to use, yet very reliable. The physical properties of the parts
produced are strong and durable. In addition, flexibility can be
achieved in required areas. The SD300 Pro
Where can I see a working
printer?
You may see a working printer at one of our certified reseller sites in
your local area. We will also be presenting the machine at upcoming
industry events. Details are in the Events Schedule.
What is the operating
concept of SD300 Pro 3D Printer based on?
The printer is very straight forward, easy to use and requires minimal
maintenance. The build concept works on a plastic sheet lamination
technique. Layers are laminated, one on top of the other as the build
process proceeds
Do I require any special
skills to operate the SD300 Pro printer?
No special skills are required to operate the SD300 Pro 3D Printer. The
printer is very user friendly and easy to operate. Following a short
training session during the printer installation, one may start printing
models immediately.
Can I build more than one
model at a time?
Yes, multiple parts can be produced simultaneously.
How many models will I be
able to build with one consumable kit?
This depends on part size and geometry. A full material kit can create a
solid block of 160mm/6.3in x 210mm/8.26in x 110mm/4.33in (xyz). As many
parts that fit in to this solid block can be produced by one material
kit.
Can the engineered plastic
used to produce parts in the SD300 Pro be recycled?
Yes, the engineered plastic material used by the SD300 Pro can be easily
recycled.
What is the build accuracy
of the SD300 Pro?
The build accuracy is +/- 0.1mm (xy axis tolerance), 0.168mm (z axis
resolution).
What happens if the
consumables run out while the machine is in operation?
The consumable quantity is managed by the printer's software. When a
material kit is fully consumed, the printer will pause and present a
"Replace Material Kit" message on the display board. Following
the material kit replacement, one may resume the build and continue the
printing process.
How much consumable
materials will be needed over a year? With high use, moderate use, low
use?
An average printer consumes between 2-4 kits of material each month
depending on printing volume.
What is done with the
machine in case of malfunction?
Solido offers on-line technical support to solve any problem. Following
installation, you will receive contact information for the technical
support centre in your area.
Is the SD300 Pro safe to use
in an open office area, or is a closed room needed?
The SD300 Pro is an office friendly desktop printer. Its does not
require a closed room, and can be positioned at any user's workstation.
The hardware, including all materials, have been checked and approved
and are in complience with CE and FCC (Class A).
What is the delivery time
for the SD300 Pro once an order is placed?
Up to 60 days from ordering.
With which CAD/CAM software
is the SD300 Pro most compatible?
The SD300 Pro is compatible with any CAD software that exports STL files.
Is the SD300 Pro "plug
n' play" ready for any .stl file?
Out of the box installation takes less than 20-30 minutes. Following the
installation procedure, you may immediately start printing.
Are there any design
limitations that the SD300 Pro might encounter?
Yes, the SD300 Pro is limited to geometries with wall thickness of at
least 1mm. In addition, deep holes in some cases may need to be drilled.
Who has been successfully
using the SD300 Pro? What industries and for what applications?
As of today, the SD300 Pro has been used successfully in many markets.
Some of our users are: mechanical engineers, product designers,
automotive industries, R&D companies, military and defense research
engineering, educational systems and medical industries.
Does the SD300 Pro require
scheduled maintenance?
The SD300 Pro does not require scheduled maintenance. If any particular
maintenance issue is in question, one should contact Tech Support.
What does the extended
warranty offer?
The extended warranty offers a 24 hour Hotline, on-line tech support for
any issue, software updates and bug fixes. In addition, the extended
warranty offers service maintenance for the printer after 1000 work
hours or 1 year (which ever comes first).
How will the SD300 Pro
contribute to my work process ?
The SD300 Pro provides time effective feedback during all stages of your
design process. Starting from conceptual mockup modeling down to final
engineering stages, your decision making will be completed faster. There
is no need to outsource your 3D parts for modeling when you have the
cost effective, yet available solution in the market at your work
station.
How does the SD300 Pro
compare to the competition?
The SD300 Pro 3D Printer is the best cost performance solution available
in the market today. When comparing parts built in the SD300 Pro
technology to the competition at a price level that is up to 100% higher
in cost, one can see that the technology provides a pure value for money
solution. Part accuracy, physical and mechanical properties, as well as
overall aesthetics offer a fine solution for each step in your design
process.
How are the models affected
by high temperatures and water?
Parts produced by the SD300 Pro can withstand a temperature of up to 70
degrees Celsius or direct UV without showing distortion. In addition,
the physical properties of parts built in the printer will not be
effected when coming in contact with water.
Can parts built using the
SD300 Pro be combined to form a larger model?
Yes, larger parts can be produced in smaller sections that can later be
connected with standard super glue. The quality of the part/s will not
be effected in any way.
Can the machine be easily
transported? What is the procedure?
The SD300 Pro 3D Printer can be easily transported and set up again in
less than 15 minutes. The printer's small size enables easy car access
for quick transport. A Packing procedure can be found in the SD300 Pro
User Manual.
Can models created with the
SD300 Pro be painted or altered for aesthetic purposes?
Yes, models created in the SD300 Pro can be machined, drilled, finished
and painted, showing no distortion over time. Finishing parts built in
the SD300 Pro will give your presentations a dynamic edge.
What happens if electricity
turn off while the machine is in operation?
No problem, just turn on the SD300 Pro and the PC, the printing process
will automatically start from the last executed operation.
How long does it take to
replace a Material KIT?
The complete replacement of the KIT (composed of PVC roll, glue
cartridge, anti-glue cassette and anti-glue pens) is an easy operation
that takes just few minutes.
How long does it take
between two consecutive prints?
The stop time of the printer before to start a new printing is of few
seconds, just the time to remove the part from the printer table.
Can SD300_Pro be shared on a
local net?
Yes, the printer can be shared on the network. Every user can prepare
his files and place them in the printing queue.
What happens if my STL file
contains errors?
SDView automatically checks and fixes all imported STL files to detect
any open surfaces, double triangles etc.. If the geometry cannot be
repaired, a warning message will appear.
May I print molds?
Yes, you can print any kind of mould with SD300 Pro and inject silicon
based materials to obtain the parts. Moulds are strong enough to allow
the injection of several parts.
