The RS IdeaWerk employs the popular FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) technology and offers high-level specifications including a build volume of 150 x 150 x 140mm and a minimum layer thickness resolution of 0.18mm. The single-head system accepts 1.75mm-diameter PLA filament materials with many different colours.
The use of environmentally friendly PLA material means no toxicity or chemical pollution or unpleasant smells, making it highly suitable for use in the home as well as in the industrial environment. In addition, the machine's very low print noise makes it ideal for use in the office, home or classroom.
Easy to assemble and use, the IdeaWerk is also lightweight weighing just 7.5kg. The machine has dimensions of 211(L) x 403(W) x 298mm(H).
The RS IdeaWerk 3D printer can be used in either online or offline mode, i.e. with or without a PC with connectivity via SD Card or USB, and is compatible with Mac OS and Windows OSs including XP, Vista, 7 and 8/8.1.
