The real future of production lines

3rd generation industrial 3D printer
For high-tech manufacturing

Advanced thermal management enabling efficient work with high-performance polymers is what third generation 3D printers are all about, according to the industry’s thought leaders. Temperature of filaments in Zortrax Endureal LPD Plus 3D printer is tightly controlled at each stage of processing to achieve utmost precision and best possible mechanical properties of 3D printed parts.

High-temperature extruder

An advanced extruder can work at sustained temperatures as high as 480 °C to support processing demanding filaments.

Heated printing chamber

Temperature in the printing chamber can reach up to 200 °C to ensure best thermal conditions for high-temperature materials.

Heated build-platform

A build-platform supporting temperatures of up to 220 °C to ensure appropriate stability to models.

Advanced thermal shielding

Thermally shielded extruder's compartment is always kept at low temperatures to ensure uninterrupted filament transmission.

Heated filaments' compartment

Filaments are stored in a secure, closed environment at temperature optimal for both high performance and standard polymers the Endureal is designed to work with.

Maintenance facilitated

Key components in the Zortrax Endureal have been designed to be easily maintained and fixed on the spot without voiding the warranty with the use of tools and parts provided in the Maintenance Kit.

Industrial safety systems

Zortrax Endureal has over 30 built-in sensors working in real-time to guarantee seamless operation in high-tech manufacturing and product development projects.

Blackout Response System

When a power outage is detected, Endureal uses the energy stored in built-in capacitors to save the exact position of the printing head. This way printing can be resumed from the same spot when the power is back on.

Monitored printing progress

Printing progress can be monitored remotely with a heat-resistant camera installed in the Endureal's printing chamber. The camera is capable of live video streaming and designed to work in demanding conditions.

Advanced filament sensors

Separate sensors work at all times to detect events when filament is jammed or depleted. The printer also monitors the weight of the filament spools to determine if there is enough material to complete the printing process.

Controlled filament's compartment

Filaments’ compartment creates an optimal environment for storing material spools. It is equipped with a moisture absorber which is responsible for reducing humidity to levels appropriate for highly hygroscopic materials.

Performance under control

A wide array of sensors ensure that the Zortrax Endureal always delivers best possible performance.

Temperature sensors constantly measure temperature of crucial components to prevent overheating.
Capacitive sensors measure build platform and nozzles' relative position to ensure calibration is on point.
Optical sensors working with no mechanical parts ensure precise extruder's positioning in all axes.
Fan stop sensors immediately detect when fans are disconnected or malfunctioning to ensure adequate cooling.
Extruder sensors detect a disconnection or failure in the extruder to ensure seamless operation.

Industrial build-volume

Build volume measuring 400 x 300 x 300 mm is large enough to accommodate full-sized structural industrial components. Due to soluble support printing capability, most of the build volume can be used by stacking models in batches arranged on top of the other.

Railroad certification

Forward AM Ultrafuse® PPSU filament passed fire tests in accordance with the EN 45545-2 European railway standard and qualified for use at all three specified fire hazard levels. This means it can be used for 3D printing parts for vehicles operating both on the surface and underground such as handles for passenger railcars or air ducts.

Metal 3D Printing Capability
with Zortrax Full Metal Package 316L

Zortrax Full Metal Package 316L is a kit containing everything necessary to make 316L stainless steel parts on the Zortrax Endureal 3D printer.

Metal parts made on the Zortrax Endureal 3D printer using Zortrax Full Metal Package 316L.

Excellent corrosion resistance

Industrial 316L stainless steel contains chromium that, in contact with oxygen, creates a protective layer on its surface protecting it from corrosion. This makes 316L steel perfect for parts exposed to corrosives like salts or liquids.

Metal 3D Printing Capability
with Zortrax Full Metal Package 17-4 PH

Zortrax Full Metal Package 17-4 PH is a kit containing everything necessary to make 17-4 precipitation hardened steel parts on the Zortrax Endureal 3D printer.

Precipitation hardened 17-4 steel has magnetic properties and is great for brackets and positioning jigs.

Very high hardness

Increased percentage of carbon and precipitation hardening process makes the 17-4 PH steel nearly twice as hard as the 316L steel. This is achieved at a cost of way lower elongation at break which makes the material relatively brittle.

VICTREX AM™ 200 Isotropic
Heavy-Duty 3D Printing Filament

VICTREX AM™ 200 is a PAEK high-performance polymer made from the ground-up for 3D printing. It belongs to the same family of polymers as Z-PEEK but is way stronger in the Z axis.

VICTREX AM™ 200 is highly isotropic, so it works well in brackets exposed to forces acting from various directions.

Highly isotropic

VICTREX AM™ 200 is a slow crystalizing material which means there is plenty of time for strong bonds to form between subsequent layers of a 3D printed model. In consequence the tensile strength measured along the Z axis can exceed 60% of the strength measured along the X and Y axes in a 3D printed model.

Z-PEEK space-grade outgassing-compliant filament

Z-PEEK is one of the strongest polymers on the planet. It has strength-to-weight ratio comparable to stainless steel and thermal properties suitable for exposure to low Earth orbit environment. Z-PEEK meets ESA's outgassing requirements specified in the ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C standard.

Excellent thermal properties

PEEK can withstand thermal-cycling in vacuum chambers used for space-qualification tests. PEEK samples have been exposed to 500 cycles of heating up to 130 °C and cooling down to - 70 °C with no adverse effects on their mechanical or chemical properties. PEEK parts are also confirmed to consistently withstand over 10 cycles of cooling down to cryogenic temperatures as low as - 196 °C.

Z-PEI 1010 robust thermally stable industrial material

Z-PEI 1010 belongs to the same family of polyetherimides as Z-PEI 9085, but with higher rigidity, higher Heat Deflection Temperature, and broader chemical resistance. This filament is aimed at chemical industry, automotive, and mass manufacturing scenarios.

High-rigidity

Z-PEI 1010 has higher rigidity than Z-PEI 9085 which means it would break rather than give in under critical loads. This makes it a good match for casings, covers, housings and industrial positioning jigs.

Mass-manufacturing

Z-PEI 9085 flame-retardant aerospace-grade polymer

Based on a durable polyetherimide blend, Z-PEI 9085 has strength-to-weight ratio comparable to aluminum 6061 with much better thermal shock resistance. The material is designed primarily for aerospace and automotive engineering applications.

High flame-retardancy

Z-PEI 9085 has a UL94 V-0 flammability rating and has been tested in accordance with the FAR 25.853 procedures which means it can be safely used in aerospace interiors. This flammability rating means that a vertically oriented sample printed with Z-PEI 9085 extinguishes within 10 seconds from when the fire has been applied to it.

Cutting Edge Research Platform

We are constantly working to further expand Zortrax Endureal's capabilities. This 3D printer is used in numerous joint research projects like the one we do with the support of the European Space Agency.

Reinventing dual extrusion

Dual extrusion LPD Plus technology has been traditionally used to print support structures out of a dedicated support material different from the one used for the model. But we wanted to take it one step further and build a capability to use the Endureal's LPD Plus technology for printing composite components out of two blends of PEEK in one go. For space applications, we 3D printed such composite models with standard Z-PEEK and ESA-developed electrically conductive blend of PEEK.

Industrial dual-extrusion

The Endureal has an advanced dual-extrusion system capable of printing high-performance and metallic filaments with dedicated support materials. The extruder components and cables are thermally shielded from the main chamber with an elastic, nanoporous insulator to achieve the lowest possible thermal conductivity. Nozzles made with a special kind of industrial bronze makes it possible to work even with highly abrasive materials. The Endureal is therefore capable of processing polymers such as Z-PEEK, VICTREX AM™ 200, Z-PEI 9085 or Z-PEI 1010, and Forward AM Ultrafuse® metallic powder filaments used for making fully functional steel parts. The printer supports both single- and dual-extrusion modes.

Integrated prototyping

Wide range of materials supported by Zortrax Endureal makes it possible to go from early low-cost prototypes to the final high-performing part using one manufacturing device.

Modular manufacturing architecture

Zortrax products, the Endureal included, can work together in highly scalable, modular systems. While the Endureal's main purpose is printing critical components out of very advanced materials, the early prototyping tasks can be easily ceded to clusters of low-maintenance desktop 3D printers like the M Series Plus or M300 Dual.

Cloud-based management

All network-enabled Zortrax 3D printers along with the staff responsible for running them can be remotely managed with Zortrax inCloud 3D printing management service. Professional and Enterprise inCloud subscription plans enable organizing people into teams with assigned 3D printers. Data on how human and 3D printing resources have been employed is aggregated in neatly spaced panels.

Unlimited scalability

Zortrax industrial systems are designed in such a way that new devices can be added at all times without incurring additional integration costs. It is possible to quickly install more clusters of cost-efficient M Series machines when an organization needs to increase production volume, more Endureal 3D printers for high-tech applications, or more Apoller devices to expand post-processing capabilities.

Cost-free flexibility

A Zortrax industrial system comprising of the Endureal 3D printer supported by a cluster of M Series machines and the Apoller post-processing devices leaves plenty of room for cost-free, on-the-fly adjustments. Even projects that have reached the stage where final parts are printed out of target materials on Endureal 3D printers can be quickly reversed to initial prototyping on M Series machines with a few clicks in Zortrax inCloud.

Easy to implement
and run

Being a full-fledged industrial machine, Endureal can be implemented as easily as Zortrax desktop-class 3D devices. Intuitive user interface and software with carefully tuned settings predefined for each dedicated filament make Endureal ready to work at full capacity from day one. The ease of implementation extends further into running the printer due to business continuity kit containing everything necessary for fast and efficient in-house maintenance.
