Large heatable space

The 3DGence INDUSTRY F421 is equipped with a powerful actively heated build chamber that can reach 180 ° C. A patent-pending variable chamber volume solution minimizes the time required to reach working temperature. The walls of the chamber are lined with INOX steel to prevent damage and oxidation.

The combination of heated build chamber, suitable extrusion temperatures and heated material chamber ensures that the prints made from high-performance polymers such as PEEK or ULTEM™ filaments are always of the best possible quality and achieve the expected nominal mechanical properties without warping or other print defects.

There is also a nozzle suction sector in the chamber. The F421 no longer relies on mechanical nozzle blocking, instead using printhead flushing. A rinsing cycle takes only 3 seconds.

build platforms

The F421 heatbed reaches 180°C and has two options:

borosilicate glass

Highly universal, mechanically resilient, simple, tool-free removal / replacement. Metal clamp sensor to detect the presence of build plates.

plastic build plate

Material chutes are continuously heated to 50°C. This temperature can be set via the printer interface.

With a specific coil geometry, four 2 kg coils can be installed while retaining all functions.

Security

• An electronic lock of the main chamber door, which can also be controlled via cloud service and printer interfaces.
• Sensors for the main chamber door and the top access door
• Redundancy for thermal sensors of high power heating elements
• Emergency switch - instant power off and thermal control system
• Logic emergency shutdown system
• Software access overdrive - the printer can be shut down remotely .

filtration

With the focus on high performance thermoplastics, it is becoming increasingly important to provide proper emission control. F421 filters offer unparalleled filter efficiency among the FFF AM platforms .

F421 uses an advanced ULT filter unit that can filter the following particles:

• macro dust
• Nanodust (VOC, UFP)
• solvent
• vapor (harmful gases)
• foreign particles

UPS and Signal Tower

The F421 can be fitted with a 72Ah UPS unit. The printer supports all functions during short power failures. The UPS is integrated into the system at a deeper level and monitors the battery life of the UPS. If the power outage is longer, the printer will go into idle support mode. The printing process is halted and only the most important thermal control and logic functions remain. If power is restored, printing will resume normally. This dual approach can produce two outcomes:

• Unaffected printer performance during brief power outages
• longer battery life with longer power problems

In addition, the 3DGence INDUSTRY F421 is equipped with a signal tower that shows the status of the print. The signal tower makes the machine easily visible from distant parts of the production facility.

3DGence Cloud

Remote Print Start, Cancel, and Pending . Full control over job and execution, even on multiple printers.

Real-time monitoring of aggregation of machine and print status and display of access module for machine and material consumption statistics;

3DGence support team can access, diagnose and provide help remotely for file sharing and storage access control as well as for managing marketing functions.

New motherboard

F340 was based on a proprietary controller - the Titan. With Texas Instruments drivers, it was a superior motherboard at the time of its release. With increasing performance requirements, a new controller had to be developed. The system is based on a 32-bit architecture and is highly adaptable and modular. Up to 9 stepper drivers, BLDC motors or servos can be supported.

The user interface and all user interface and cloud services are run by a coprocessor. The main CPU only focuses on machine control. These two processing units run in parallel and do not affect each other's performance. They store sufficient computing power for immediate job control.
