Flashforge’s new 3D printer runs engineering-grade filaments

The FlashforgeUSA Creator 4 3D printer can be fitted with an extruder intended for flexible, engineering-grade, or carbon-fiber-composite filaments.

The desktop printer’s twin extruders work independently or simultaneously. The thermally controlled, 400- by 350- by 500-mm build chamber maintains a constant temperature of 65 degrees C, which effectively reduces model shrinkage, warping at corners, and breakage, reports the manufacturer.

The company adds that linear-rail leadscrew stepping along the X and Y axes improves motion stability and the new S-type motion-control system ensures smooth starting and stopping, precise nozzle positioning, and sharp print details.
