What do the T450 and T700 offer?
Both machines share one platform with an actively heated chamber. Build volumes are 450 x 350 x 400 mm for the T450 and 700 x 500 x 1,000 mm for the T700. A CoreXY motion system with four frame-mounted motors aims to limit vibration, surface ringing and layer shifts. The TwinFlow extruder reaches up to 600 mm/s and 80 mm³/s under reference conditions: Hyper Speed ABS V2, 250°C, a 0.4 mm nozzle and a single-wall structure. The second filament path can also carry a different material, for soluble supports or two-colour parts.
Air Flow Manager 2 sets the chamber by material, holding up to 70°C on the T450 and 60°C on the T700 for large ABS and nylon parts, and switching to directed cooling for PLA. Further features include a 420°C fibre-ready nozzle, a 120°C bed, camera monitoring, failure detection, power-loss recovery, RFID material identification and ideaMaker support.
Which applications does Raise3D name?
Raise3D positions the T450 for jigs, fixtures, casting patterns, large prototypes and production aids, and the T700 for large tooling and patterns. CEO Edward Feng cited one-piece scoliosis braces, which fit the T450 build area. A battery-cell transport tray example is said to have cut production time from about 40 to 10 days and weight from about 8 kg to 2 kg. These figures come from the company.
What changes for SLS and post-processing?
A software update raises the RMS220 SLS build height from 350 to 450 mm, giving 21.8 L instead of 17 L, about 30 percent more, with no hardware change. The new B520 is an enclosed automated sandblaster for polymer powder bed parts, with 24.8 L and 75.5 L baskets, and it also supports third-party SLS, MJF, SAF and HSS equipment. The launches follow a 15 million dollar funding round.
