X5
TierTime’s flagship 3D printer, the X5, makes it possible to move from printing individual objects to real small-scale production. The company’s engineers have developed a build plate auto-swapping system, turning the printer into a mini conveyor belt. A finished part is ejected along with the plate, making room for the next one, there being 12 available in total.
The build volume of TierTime X5 is 180 x 230 x 200 mm, and the minimum layer height is 50 microns.
Ready to print in plastics with a melting point of up to 300 °C, the model features a print bed that can heat up to 100 °C.
The TierTime X5 is engineered with rail guides. Files can be transferred for printing via a USB flash drive, Wi-Fi, or a wired connection. A 7" touchscreen is used to control the printer.
UP600/UP600D
Another top-notch model in TierTime’s 3D printer range is the UP600 and its dual-extrusion modification, indexed D.
The industrial-grade device is equipped with a large build chamber actively heated up to 54 °C with a print volume of 500 x 400 x 600 mm.
The temperature of the extruder can reach 300 °C, while the minimum layer thickness is 100 microns.
Similar to the above-mentioned model, the printer is controlled with a 7" touchscreen, files are transferred for printing via Ethernet, wireless connection, or USB.
UP300/UP300D
Next on our list is the TierTime UP300, which is a completely redesigned version of the popular UP BOX+.
The 3D printer also has a dual-extruder modification, and features a build volume of 205 x 255 x 225 mm, the extruder heating up to 300 °C, the print bed with a maximum temperature of 100 °C, and the minimum layer height of 50 microns.
As in the case with other TierTime machines, files are sent for printing in any way convenient to the user.
A unique feature of X5 and UP300 models is interchangeable extruders designed for different types of plastic: ABS, PLA, TPU. The printers come with one or two printheads depending on the delivery set.
