The professional user-friendly 3D printer: fast, precise and smart as you ever dreamt it

Sharebot 42

Sharebot 42 is the fourth generation 3D printer which uses FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology to realize professional prototypes and models with the highest printing quality and precision at the maximum speed.

The autocalibration system of the innovative printing bed with removable magnetic printing plate allows the professional to start printing without any problem: the user has the full control on every printing setting from the 3.2″ LCD touch screen display.

Sharebot 42 can print with many different professional 3D printing materials: to have the best quality with each one, it’s possible to change the nozzle (applying nozzles from 0.4 – 0.8), depending on the material used, allowing you to obtain the best from Sharebot 42 printing quality.

Sharebot 42 has an integrated videocamera with web connectivity: from the web interface, compatible with every device, the professional user will have the possibility to manage the printing process and see the development from the webcam. Another new features is the filament control: a sensor will stop the printing it if the material ends or it’s obstructed.

Design – Create His-Story

Sharebot 42

Create His-Story with Ceramic Figurines” is contest launched by Istituto Marangoni in partnership with Cappellini. The third edition of the international design contest was inspired by the story of Kaspar Urz, the porcelain figurines collector in Bruce Chatwin’s novel. Aspiring designers were requested to design a decorative figurine in ceramic or porcelain, depicting real or imaginary characters, with a size limit for height of 15 cm.

Sharebot worked together with Istituto Marangoni to create the prototype: first step was about choosing the right 3D printer for the model. Knowing the size and feature the mockup should have, our technicians chose to use Sharebot 42, our filament deposition professional 3D printer. The model maximum width is 200 mm while it’s high is less than 150 mm (as the contest requests). We used our PLA-S material with the Sharebot HQ profile(standard speed and 0.1 resolution on Z).

Architecture – Hera Lacinia temple

Sharebot 42

The project wants to be the union between classic tradition and innovative technologies like 3D printing to give new life to ancient monuments today got lost. The Engilab staff started from the information we now have about the temple to sketch it completely, reproducing the looks and the internal rooms and columns. Because of the lack of information, the staff used other temples structure to model the “new” Hera Lacinia shape.

Once they had the model, they divided it into different sections to ease the printing process (as you can see by downloading the .stl files) and started printing with different Sharebot professional and desktop 3D printers. Once assembled, the model size is 240 x 600 x 200 mm.

Materials

PLA-S

PLA’s the most used 3D printing material, composed by a thermoplastic polymer derivated from corn and it’s biodegradable. PLA’s resistant and solid (avoiding the warping effect during the printing process) without retraction and deformation. Available in a lot of different colors, it doesn’t release any smell and it can be extruded at lower temperatures than any other material without having to heat the printing bed.

  • DEGRADATION: 250°C
  • T° EXTRUSION: 215°C
  • T° PLATE: 30° – 60°C (NOT REQUIRED)

ABSOLUTE

ABSolute® is a new generation ABS filament developed to give the best functioning material to the professional user. During the printing process there is no warpring effect and no retraction of the filament on the printing plate, avoiding any failure of your process. ABSolute® is the perfect materia for professsionals looking for high impact resistance and high temperature.

TPURE

It is an elastic polymeric material that could be stretched and forced without damaging it: TPU will always come back to its original form. The filament is available in a lot of different colors and during the printing process it doesn’t give off any smell. You can find on our website a tutorial in order to learn how to print it.

WOOD

Sharebot WOOD 3D printing filament is a mixture of modified PLA charged with true micronized wood powder. WOOD is printed at low temperatures and it can be easily carved with sand papers or tumbling machines after the printing process. Its porous texture allows to print it without using any primer so that the print can adhere on it.

NYLON-GLASS

Nylon-Glass is a material composed by a mix of nylon and glass fibers. The material allows to print precisie models with an excelent surface definition. It can be used in place of the common ABS thanks to its high resistance: our testers used it to realize mechanical functioning spare parts and prototypes. Because of its elastic components, the Nylon-Glass is very flexible and it can be bended without reaching the breaking point.

NYLON-CARBON

Nylon-Carbon is a high quality material. It’s composed by 2 different fibres: nylon and carbon. Nylon gives to the filament a high resistancewhile carbon gives lightness, making it very easy to print. The printed object are resistant, with opaque black color, slightly rough and with a light metallic look. Nylon-Carbon is ideal for manufacturing use.
