Ultimaker 2/English
Name of device: Ultimaker 2
Responsible for device: Marcel Gültig, Hinnerk Oßmer
Location: B301, R211
Short Description
3D-printer Using fused filament fabrication (plastic extrusion) structural elements that were designed digitally can be printed usind polymers. He printer creates the components out of up to 20µm thin layers. The total dimensions of the components must not exceed 223x223x205mm. Larger elements have to be put together out of smaller segments.
Fused Filament Fabrication
Printing with fused filament fabrication polymers are melted and extruded through a nozzle(Ultimaker 2: Diameter 0.25-0.8mm; Temperature 180-260°C) and applied in layers. Most widely-spread method of 3D-printing.
Polymers
These polymers can be used with Ultimaker 2:
- PLA (Polyactide)
- ABS (Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol)
- CPE (chlorinated Polyethylen)
Limitations
Maximum dimensions of component: 223x223x205mm
