Technology in detail
Design features of the Heron line
Active heated chamber
The active heated chamber heats the entire build volume evenly. This ensures stable results and flat surfaces.
Powerful extruder
The water-cooled extruder reaches up to 500 °C. It processes materials from standard polymers to engineering plastics.
Rack and pinion drive
The rack and pinion drive works without belt stretch and is almost wear-free. This increases geometric accuracy.
High-temperature print bed
The large, strongly heated print bed ensures reliable adhesion, even with demanding materials.
Integrated filament dryer
The integrated dryer keeps the filament dry during printing. The spool is secured against unwinding at three points.
Klipper firmware
The Klipper firmware compensates for vibrations through input shaping. The printer therefore positions precisely even at high speeds.
IDEX technology
Two independent extruders produce two components at the same time in duplication or mirror mode.
Highly filled filaments
The Heron also reliably processes fibre-reinforced materials with up to 30 % carbon or glass fibre content. This produces stiff, dimensionally stable components.
Adapted to your application
Because we build every Heron ourselves, we adapt it to your application. We agree the following points together with you:
- Individual build volume and bed size
- Adapted nozzle and chamber temperature
- Material configuration to suit the application
- Service and support directly from the manufacturer
