==Engines==
+
Our '''[[Repetrel]]''' Software controls all versions of our printers, as well as our in-house CNC machines and other side projects. Most of the features are explained on our '''[[Repetrel]]''' page.
  
−
[[Engines]] are open-air models. Engines can take up to four heads at once, either working cooperatively on a one print, or making duplicate copies of a small print at the same time. Build volume is 200x200x200mm (XYZ). Detailed information is on the [[Engines]] page.
+
To try it for yourself (limited without a Hyrel printer attached), just:
  
−
==Systems==
+
1. Install '''[http://www.hyrel3d.net/downloads/updater/EcosystemApps.exe EcoSystems Apps].'''
  
−
[[Systems]] are enclosed models. Systems can take up to four heads at once, either working cooperatively on a one print, or making duplicate copies of a small print at the same time. Build volume for the System 30M is 225x225x200mm (XYZ). Detailed information is on the [[Systems]] page.

Warm Flow is our term for fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at up to 150°C, with or without UV Crosslinking, depending on the head.

PCL and other medium temperature material can be printed directly from Pellets the size of small peas. If you pulverize or powder your polymer, it is possible to pre-mix the material dry and test different alloys of plastics.

Can we print your material?

Probably... please tell us:

  1. What form it is in at room temperature (powder, granules, filament, gel, etc).
  2. Do you need the environment or build surface at a certain temperature?
  3. For Filaments:
    1. At what temperature will it be printed?
    2. Is it 1.75mm +/- 0.1mm?
  4. For liquids, gels, granules or powders:
    1. At what temperature will it be deposited?
    2. Is it homogeneous or pre-mixed, or do we need to mix it as we dispense?
