The connectivity options of the device include USB, Wi-Fi, and a cloud. The majority of the functions including filament loading/unloading can be accessed via a full-color 5" touch screen located on the front panel. Thanks to the maximum nozzle temperature of 300 ☌, the CraftBot Flow IDEX XL is compatible with an array of tough thermoplastics like ABS, Nylon, PETG, and PVA.

The IDEX system, in which two all-metal hotends are placed in two separate print heads, allows the extruders to freely move along the X-axis. The build chamber of the machine has dimensions of 425 x 250 x 500 mm, providing users with a potential volume of 56 liters. The device is aimed at designers, artists, engineers, and architects who want to create large professional prints for artistic, functional, or prototyping needs. Need to figure out how to take the location of complicated models on site & represent the location in side plant - currently the location can be set by the imported xref.Ĭollision checking then performed in Navisworks.Created by Hungarian manufacturer CraftUnique, the CraftBot Flow IDEX XL is a large-format FDM 3D printer equipped with an independent dual extruder (IDEX). Currently the plant dwg is big - looks good in Navisworks but sluggish inside plant. Presume the revit/inventor models are sent to Navisworks & the Plant Model sent to navis too, thinking about how the co ordinate systems are all tied together. Are imported models best avoided because of the performance hit? this looks like a way to keep everything a simple as possible. The tutorials I've seen appear to point to creating models from scratch using the tools within plant.

With Inventor a sketch plane can be used & geometry projected & extruded - not sure how to keep the same co-ordinate system trying to copy the workflow in Autocad. Models imported from Inventor & Navisworks can be sizable - currently theses models are xrefs but when switched on performance is slow.Īny top tips for creating simple representations of imported model for plant 3d
