Hyrel Printers are available in the following models: Hydras are our larger, gantry models; Systems are our tabletop, enclosed models; and Engines are the smaller, unenclosed models - available in Standard Resolution (SR) and High Resolution (HR, for bioprinting) versions.

All models use our Repetrel software and any slicer (Slic3r support provided). Each model comes with a Windows PC, either tablet or full desktop style. We operate our print heads via CANbus.

The Hydra Series

The Hydra 16A models have hard resolution (with encoder feedback) of 20 microns in the X and Y, and 0.8 microns in the Z in standard mode. In microstepping mode, we can achieve soft resolution of 4 microns in the X and Y. It comes standard with two tool positions, but can take additional yokes to handle more.

There are three models, as detailed above. The differences are:

  • The Hydra 16A-S (standard) has a 250mm Z and stands on the floor, with the following options:
    • Can take a bed at 400x300mm or 600x400mm at 120°C or 200°C, or a sub-ambient bed;
    • Can take the 40W CO2 laser and 5W, 450nm diode laser;
    • Can take the Pick and Place setup; and
    • Can take the 3-Phase and 1-Phase spindle tools.
  • The Hydra 16A-T (tall) has a 500mm Z and stands on the floor, with the following options:
    • Can take a bed at 400x300mm or 600x400mm at 120°C or 200°C, or a sub-ambient bed;
    • Can take the 5W, 450nm diode laser (NO CO2 LASER);
    • Can take the Pick and Place setup; and
    • Can take the 3-Phase and 1-Phase spindle tools.

The System 30M, 30, and 23

Systems are enclosed benchtop models. Detailed information is on the Systems page. The System 30M replaced the System 30, which replaced the System 23. For you history buffs and Kickstarters.

The Engines

Engines are open-air desktop 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 200mm x 200mm x 200mm (X/Y/Z). Detailed information is on the Engines page.
