Printers

As of Jan, 2016, Hyrel Printers are available in two models: Engines and Systems.

• Engines are open-air models. Detailed information is on the Engines page.
• Systems are enclosed models. Detailed information is on the Systems page.

Filaments, Heads and Flow

We break down our deposition methods based on temperature, as follows:

Cold Flow

Cold Flow means fluid (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at room temperature, with or without UV Crosslinking.

Materials

• Adhesives
• Clay
• Epoxy, Two-part
• Fimo
• Glue
• Metal Clay, including Precious Metal Clay (PMC)
• Modeling Clay
• PEG
• Porcelain
• Plasticine
• Play-Doh
• Resins
• RTV Silicone
• Sculpey
• Sugru

Heads

• The EMO-25 prints in Cold Flow materials at room temperature, with the supplied nozzles or commonly available needles with our Luer Tip Adapter.
• The COD-25 prints in Cold Flow materials at room temperature with LED Crosslinking, with our Luer Tip Adapter.

Warm Flow

Warm Flow means fluid (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at up to 100°C, with or without UV Crosslinking.

Materials

• Adhesives
• Fimo
• Glue
• Plasticine
• Resins
• Sculpey
• Wax

Note that some materials (like Fimo, Plasticine and Sculpey) flow more freely when slightly above room temperature, and perhaps too freely at higher temperatures.

Heads

• The VOL-25 prints in Warm Flow materials at up to 100°C, with the supplied nozzles or commonly available needles with our Luer Tip Adapter.
• The VCD-25 prints in Warm Flow materials at up to 100°C with LED Crosslinking, with our Luer Tip Adapter.
• The KRA-15 prints in Warm Flow materials at up to 150°C, with the supplied nozzles or commonly available needles with our Luer Tip Adapter.
• The KCD-15 prints in Warm Flow materials at up to 150°C with LED Crosslinking, with our Luer Tip Adapter.

Hot Flow

Hot Flow means (1.75mm diameter) filament-based materials which are deposited at up to 250°C, with
