Description of the printer 2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINTER The device described in this manual is a printer intended for 3D printing using fluid-dense material. The printer consists of an extruder with a screw mounted on a delta robot type structure and a work bed. The material is put under pressure and pushed towards the extruder where it is dosed in a controlled manner by a screw and poured through a nozzle that deposits very small quantities of material on the work bed.
Description of the printer 2.3. Technical data All WASP 3D printers are characterized by considerable strength and working precision. Their mechanics allows for greater precision and stability, guaranteeing greater production speeds. A further advantage is the possibility of restarting the production of the piece from the point where it should be interrupted for any reason.
Description of the printer 2.4. Noisiness The noise emitted by the printer only is inferior than 60 dB(A). The presence of more machines in the same area increases ATTENTION: It is the responsibility of the customer to carry out an assessment of the noise risk of his activity as prescribed by the legislation in force in the place where the printer is installed, and to equip the operators with adequate Personal Protective Equipment (such as headphones for hearing protection).
