Flashforge Creator 4 3D Printer

The Flashforge Creator 4 is a professional FFF 3D printer for commercial use that combines functionality, flexibility, productivity, and top performance in creating end-use parts and functional prototypes. The machine is equipped with a fully enclosed chamber that can maintain a constant temperature up to 65 °C due to the thermal controlled system. Furthermore, its massive build volume of 15.7 x 13.8 x 19.7 in (400 x 350 x 500 mm) meets most manufacturer’s printing needs.

The device offers multiple advanced functions, such as the intelligent filament management system, filament runout detection, auto bed leveling, resume printing from power outage, effective heat dissipation, two filament spool holders (1 and 2 kg), and HEPA13 air filter. 

However, the biggest advantage is the IIDEX (Interchangeable Independent Dual Extruder System) and three types of extruders: HT, HS, and F (optional). The Flashforge Creator 4 is available in two versions: Creator 4-A and Creator 4-S. The A-version contains 2 HT-extruders, while the S-version comes with 2 HT- and 2 HS-extruders. They can also be purchased separately. Depending on the type of the extruder, the printer will support materials with different properties, such as engineering (HT), flexible (F), and carbon fiber composite (HS) filaments.

The Creator 4 model is perfect for professional use in manifold spheres, including industrial part design, production line jig and fixture tooling, artistic architecture, and more.

Print quality

The Flashforge Creator 4 is an FFF 3D printer that can print layers at 15 microns. With it, you can produce parts with smooth exterior surfaces, complex geometry, and detailed composition.

Thanks to the linear rails, the device boasts increased motion stability, and therefore better printing precision. Brand new S-type motion control system provides for smoother start and stop, accurate positioning of the nozzle, and exceptional detail.

Moreover, the filament managing system allows adjusting different preheating temperatures for particular materials. That ensures a higher success rate of printing.

Materials

The Flashforge Creator 4 uses 1.75 mm filament, providing you with a wide choice of consumables no matter the manufacturer.

Due to the three extruder options with different characteristics, the printer supports various types of materials with the highest temperature at 360 °C.

Overall, the machine is compatible with plenty of materials such as PLA, ABS, PA, PC, PP, PETG, ASA, PACF, TPU, TPE, and other engineering and high-temperature plastics.

Build volume

The massive build area of 15.7 x 13.8 x 19.7 inches (400 x 350 x 500 mm) lets you print a single large model or simultaneously produce several smaller ones.

Printer controls

The printer is equipped with a 7" color touchscreen with enhanced sensitivity featuring an easy-to-use and clear interface.

The connectivity options include USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, making for an effortless standalone operation. The Creator 4 also has a built-in HD camera for remote monitoring.

The machine uses the proprietary FlashPrint slicer. It works with 3MF, STL, OBJ, FPP, BMP, PNG, and JPEG file formats. The printer software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
