|
| |
|
| With literally thousands of materials to print on the Hyrel Printer, we have broken down the list of materials into logical groups based on their printing temperature and type of head used to print them.
| | At Hyrel, we do things differently. Please get a feel for how Hyrel equipment works with this pdf and with these videos: |
|
| |
|
| If you are planning on using the heads which photoinitiate crosslinking, make sure you specify the correct wavelength of LED for your material.

| A standard material printing data sheet has been created for materials that have been internally tested; you can access this data by clicking on the material name below.
| | For more detailed instructions, please continue from '''[http://hyrel3d.net/wiki/index.php/Instructions#Additional_Emulsifiable_Videos this point on the Instrucions page].''' |

|
| As of Jan, 2016, Hyrel Printers are available in two models: [[Engines]] and [[Systems]]. The Next Big Thing should be announced this quarter.

| ==Engines==
| |
|
| |
|
| [[Engines]] are open-air models. Engines can take up to four heads at once, either working cooperatively on a one print, or making duplicate copies of a small print at the same time. Build volume is 200x200x200mm (XYZ). Detailed information is on the [[Engines]] page.

|
| |
|
| ==Systems==
| | Our '''[[Repetrel]]''' Software controls all versions of our printers, as well as our in-house CNC machines and other side projects. Most of the features are explained on our '''[[Repetrel]]''' page. |
|
| |
|
| [[Systems]] are enclosed models. Systems can take up to four heads at once, either working cooperatively on a one print, or making duplicate copies of a small print at the same time. Build volume is 225x225x200mm (XYZ). Detailed information is on the [[Systems]] page.

|
| Warm Flow is our term for fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at up to 150°C, with or without UV Crosslinking, depending on the head.

|
| PCL and other medium temperature material can be printed directly from Pellets the size of small peas. If you pulverize or powder your polymer, it is possible to pre-mix the material dry and test different alloys of plastics.

| =The Hot Flow Process= | | == A Note about COVID-19, the latest Corona Virus == |
|
| |
|
| Hot Flow is our term for filament-based materials which are deposited at up to 450°C, depending on the head. As of January, 2016, our Hot Flow heads are only for 1.75mm filaments.
| | We are still building and shipping units, while abiding by safety recommendations. |
|
| |
|
| ==Materials for Hot Flow==
| |
|
| |
|
| The following materials can be printed from Hot Flow heads. Note that depending on the characteristics of your material, one head will be a better match than the others. See the "Recommended For" column in the table below.

The MK1 heads drive matieral from one side, with a spring-loaded bearing system to maintain pressure and positioning. The MK2 heads drive the material from both sides, and are designed for more flexible filaments.

| =Lasers=
| |
| | |
| Hot-swappable Lasers are available in the following configurations:
| |
| | |
| * The [[LA5-808]] is 5W at 808nm, and due to its wavelength, it is best suited for darker material.
| |
| * The [[LA6-450]] is 6W at 450nm, and performs well on opaque material of any color.
| |
| | |
| The Reflectivity and Transparency or Translucency of your material will have a great impact on the effectiveness of the laser. Safety glasses are included with each laser.
| |
| | |
| =Spindle Tools=
| |
| | |
| Intended for light drilling and routing operations (especially circuit board work), the ST1 provides between 500 and 5000 RMP (depending on load) to a 1/8" chuck. Our Repetrel software can process Gerber and DRL files for the Spindle Tool and/or the Lasers.
| |
| | |
| =Other Heads=
| |
| | |
| The following accessories each take up a tool position while performing more passive functions:
| |
| | |
| * The [[Inspector]] microscope provides magnification.
| |
| * The [[Quiet Storm]] fan provides additional cooling.
| |
| * The [[Digitram]], provided with every printer, is used to level the build surface.
| |
| | |
| =Non-Head Accessories=
| |
| | |
| The following non-head accessories are also available:
| |
| | |
| * The [[Feed Chamber Cooling Fan]] mounts on Hot Flow heads to provide additional cooling to the feed chamber. This is desirable with low temperature filaments like PLA.
| |
| * The [[Printer Support Kit]] is included with every printer, and includes a build plate, blue tape, and a variety of handy tools like tweezers, razors, and a spatula.
| |
| * The [[SDK | Software Developer's Kit]] provides hardware, software, and the source code for developing your own firmware for your own compatible heads.
| |
| * The [[LTK | Luer Tip Kit]] provides an EMO to Luer adapter and a variety of luer lock needles.
| |
| * The [[Syringe Kit]] provides syringes in quantity.
| |
| * The [[Drill Bit Kit]] provides an assortment of drilling bits and end mills for the Spindle Tool.
