The Creator 3 Pro is a remarkably upgraded version of the professional desktop FDM 3D printer Creator 3 from Flashforge. Like its predecessor, it offers a fully enclosed chamber, independent dual extrusion system, large build volume of 300 x 250 x 200 mm, wide material compatibility. The device, too, boasts a flexible heated build plate and several smart features like an upgraded extruder sensor for better build plate leveling, filament runout detection, resume printing function, a built-in camera and cloud printing, and HEPA13 filter.
The Pro version is equipped with two extruder fans ensuring better control over the cooling profile. The new integrated printheads and heating assembly allow for a more comprehensive heating action, with their modular design making disassembly and maintenance much easier. More than that, the nozzles are now detachable for the printer to be able to use six different options for various tasks. As far as the electronics are concerned, the machine sports an upgraded second-generation control chip to provide smoother three-axis operation and human-computer interaction.

The Pro model is perfect for professional use in manifold industries, including engineering, automotive, architecture, aircraft, healthcare, education. Aside from that, it can be used to produce high-quality art models, accessories, souvenirs, and much more. Look at these accurate carbon fiber-reinforced parts printed with the device.
The Creator 3 Pro is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers as thin as 50 microns. This way you can produce parts with smooth exterior surfaces. Due to the brand new cooling fan structure, two extruder cooling fans effectively cool down models and make for better printing effects.
The standard 0.4 mm stainless steel nozzles can be replaced with optional 0.6 or 0.8 mm ones to implement different purposes. In addition, there are three carbon steel nozzles of 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm to use for printing with CF (carbon fiber) composite materials. With the nozzle and heating block assembled together, it is easy to replace and maintain.
The model has a new, more effective leveling sensor, which makes the positioning faster and more precise. Additionally, the heating time of the build plate has been increased by 500% — it takes about three minutes for the build platform to reach 110 °C. The same goes about heating of nozzles: due to optimized extruder assembly, they are capable of reaching up to 200 ℃ in 1 minute.
The Creator 3 Pro uses 1.75 mm filament, providing you with a wide choice of consumables no matter the manufacturer. It is compatible with plenty of materials such as PLA, ABS, PA, PC, PVA, HIPS, PETG, Wood, ASA, PACF, and other engineering and high-temperature plastics including carbon fiber materials.
The printer is equipped with both a heated print bed and enclosed build chamber; the plate heats up to 120 °C, and the maximum extruder temperature is 320 °C, the whole thing making it possible to employ a great variety of filaments mentioned above, from ABS to PACF and the like. The extruder comes with a dual fan system to reduce wobbling and stringing issues, making for better printing quality when using PLA-type filaments.
With multiple specialized functions, IDEX technology can save effort and greatly cut down the print time, doubling production capability within the same timeframe — Duplicate Mode uses extruders to print a model and its exact copy, Mirror Mode simultaneously prints a model and its inverse, and Dual-Color Mode speaks for itself. Besides, the independent dual extruders can be used to print with water-soluble materials when necessary.
The build area of 11.8 x 9.8 x 7.9 inches (300 x 250 x 200 mm) lets you print a single large model or simultaneously produce several smaller ones.
The device is equipped with a 4.3" color touchscreen with improved sensitivity making it even more comfortable and user-friendly.
The Pro version of Creator 3 features USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity for an effortless standalone operation. The device also has a camera for remote monitoring and supports cloud printing.
The machine uses a new version of the proprietary FlashPrint slicer. It works with 3MF, STL, OBJ, FPP, BMP, PNG, JPG, and JPEG file formats. The printer software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

The Creator 3 Pro is available in a gray-and-black color scheme. Its stylish look will decorate any workshop or maker lab.
The printer dimensions are 24.7 x 19.1 x 24.2 inches (627 x 485 x 615 mm). It weighs 88.2 lb (40 kg). The spools are mounted inside the built-in filament cartridges on both sides of the printer.
The price for the Flashforge Creator 3 Pro Independent Dual Extruder 3D printer is $2,015.00, which is reasonable considering its functionality, fast heating, and compatibility with multiple materials.
