Overview

Raise3D Pro2 Plus is a professional-grade, large-format FDM 3D printer designed for high-precision, industrial applications. Equipped with a dual-extrusion system that includes retractable hot ends, the Pro2 Plus allows for complex multi-material and multi-color prints with minimal risk of cross-contamination. Its hot ends can reach temperatures up to 300°C, enabling compatibility with a wide range of materials. User-friendly features such as a 7-inch touchscreen interface, HEPA air filtration, filament run-out sensors, and remote monitoring via an integrated camera enhance usability and safety. With its robust construction and advanced capabilities, the Raise3D Pro2 Plus is well-suited for professionals seeking reliable and high-quality 3D printing solutions.

Raise3D Pro2 Plus must be reserved before using. The reservation is done using the Google calendar. Users will be able to reserve the equipment personally after attending the RAL lab orientation and then following the steps below to gain access to the equipment.

Video demonstration

The following videos demonstrate capabilities and the some aspects of operating the Raise3D Pro2 Plus printer:
Note: these are promotional and instructional videos. They are included for demonstrational purposes only. The details of actual operational procedures in the RAL Lab can differ.

Important reminders and safety

  • Some parts of the printer get very hot during operation and take a while to cool down. Be careful when removing the printed parts or doing work inside the printer.
  • Make sure to log the print and the amount of material used.

Designs can be made in any software capable of saving models in STL format (e.g. Onshape, AutoCad, SolidWorks, ProE, etc.). The on site computer station is meant for operating lab equipment only. Do not work on your CAD models here, your files can be brought over on a flash drive or wireless method.

Remember to set the appropriate tolerances in your STL files: tolerances should be smaller than the smallest feature in your design. Don't make tolerances much smaller than 3D printer resolution. Also, be mindful that small tolerances produce larger files.
