"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 52, we painted a model made of nylon 12 using the powder sintering layered 3D printer "Fuse 1." The "Fuse 1," a powder sintering 3D printer, is highly functional and can be utilized in various scenes. It seems that there are increasing cases where prototypes are not only created for shape confirmation but are also actually incorporated as parts, leveraging their characteristics. In this context, we have received requests to paint models used in proposals and presentations to clarify the feel and completion image. Therefore, this time, we painted a sample of nylon 12 printed with the Fuse 1. "Can I paint it as I imagined?" "What will the texture be like?" We will explain the painting process and the product's texture along with images, addressing any questions or concerns. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products under the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 54, we conducted a temperature rise experiment using the "CreatBot PEEK-300," which has a thermos bottle structure and excels in heat retention, and examined the temperature changes inside the chamber. Super engineering plastics have become manageable even in 3D printing. It's great that we can create models with materials that can surpass metals! However, due to their special characteristics, the forming process is not easy... If the model cools down or the surrounding temperature changes rapidly, issues like "warping" and "layer separation" can occur immediately. Therefore, this time we investigated how well we can manage temperature by examining the temperature changes inside the chamber with the "PEEK-300," which can handle super engineering plastics. "Can a high-temperature environment be created quickly?" "How well can the temperature be maintained?" We will explain the crucial aspect of temperature management in forming, along with the verification results using graphs. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 54, we created test pieces using the new material "Nylon 11CF" for the SLS 3D printer "Fuse 1 +30W" and examined its dimensional reproducibility. Carbon fiber reinforced resin, which achieves excellent strength and heat resistance while being lightweight, is utilized in various applications across industries and is also expanding in the 3D printing industry. In this context, Formlabs announced the carbon fiber reinforced material "Nylon 11CF" as a new material for the SLS 3D printer "Fuse 1 +30W." Therefore, we quickly created test pieces used for inspection upon arrival. Are there differences compared to other materials? How accurately can dimensions be reproduced? We explain questions and points of interest regarding Nylon 11CF, along with images and measurement results. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 56, we challenged ourselves to see how much we could reduce the printing time by changing the layer height for different parts of the model. While utilizing FDM 3D printers, "Everyone must have thought at least once, 'I want to reduce the printing time for 3D printing!'" However, the methods to shorten printing time are limited, and achieving this without compromising quality is quite challenging. This time, we attempted to see how much we could reduce printing time by using the "Anisoprint Composer," which allows for the use of multiple layer heights depending on the part being printed. We will explain the results of our actual printing, along with the printing conditions and photos, to see if we can reduce printing time while maintaining quality. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products, based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 57, we used the SLS method 3D printer "Fuse 1+30W" to create a model with a complex internal shape and tested whether we could cleanly remove the powder left inside. The SLS method 3D printer has the advantage of being able to create support-free structures, unlike other printing methods. Therefore, it can produce complex shapes that are difficult to achieve with other methods. However, since the uncurled powder laid out functions as a substitute for support, hollow areas may remain filled with powder. Nevertheless, the powder left inside should be removable with the SLS method. In this document, we challenge the removal of powder remaining inside the model! We will thoroughly check the invisible interior using a CT scanner. We will explain whether it is truly possible to cleanly remove the powder material left inside, along with the removal process and CT scan images. *You can download the document using the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 58, we tested the ease of removing models using the Build Platform 2, an option for the Form 3+. The Form 3+ can create intricate models with simple operations. Once the model is finished, have you ever thought during post-processing, "There are some model shapes that are difficult to remove..." or "If only I could shorten the post-processing time..."? In this context, Formlabs has introduced the Build Platform 2, which can be used with the Form 3+! It has been announced that models can be removed more easily, but how much easier will it really be? Therefore, we investigated how easy it is to remove models. We will explain the tasks involved when using a scraper and when using the Build Platform 2, along with images. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 59, we tried creating a model by combining different metals using "2CREATE." The compact metal printer is easy to handle and allows for easy material changes, which is a great feature. With this, it might be possible to change materials midway! Aren't you interested in creating metals that are fused together from different types? So, in between prints, we changed materials and created a model made from two types of materials! This is the first attempt to utilize the flexibility of material selection in 2CREATE and the characteristics of a 3D printer that sinters metal powder with a laser. "Doesn't changing materials in a metal printer take a long time?" "Is it really possible to combine metals in 3D printing?" We will explain the flow of material changes and the finish of the model along with actual images. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product categories handled by System Create. In Vol. 60, we examined whether there are changes in warping of ABS models due to differences in infill density. When it comes to materials used in FDM 3D printers, PLA and ABS are common. Among them, ABS is a material with excellent mechanical properties, but many may be troubled by the "warping of models" that becomes apparent when trying it out. One method to counteract warping is to "lower the infill density." By reducing the infill density, you can decrease the impact of thermal stress and suppress warping; however, it is also true that this can make the model's strength somewhat unreliable. So, how much infill percentage can be used to create a model without warping? This time, we created flat models with varying infill densities and examined what changes occur in the models. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 61, we examined how much the internal conditions differ with and without the dust collection unit, one of the options for the tabletop cutting machine "BANTAM TOOLS." Materials that generate "dust" during processing, such as composite materials, are often avoided because they can negatively impact the machine. Many people might be thinking, "I don't want to process with the machine I usually use" or "I don't want to lead to machine failure." What we would like to introduce is the "dust collection unit," which is an option for the tabletop cutting machine BANTAM TOOLS. In this document, we investigated how much the internal conditions after processing differ with and without the dust collection unit. The document will explain the conditions inside each setup during actual processing, along with photographs. *You can download the document from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 62, we tested whether we could create a film suitable for a workpiece with curves using "ExactFlat," which can unfold from 3D to 2D. There are various industries, such as automotive and interior design, that require patterns. To unfold from 3D to 2D, I believe you have been relying on the know-how that has been developed over time, but have you ever thought, "Isn't there a way to easily create patterns?" or "I want to unfold free shapes..."? Therefore, we challenged ourselves to directly unfold a workpiece with curves into 2D data and apply decorative film that fits the shape. By unfolding with ExactFlat, we can easily create data and also check for material distortion. In the materials, we will introduce the analysis of distortion and images of the film application. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 63, we tested the new product "transparent" from the spray "AESUB," which "naturally disappears," by scanning colorful works to see how much shape and color information can be captured! The 3D scanning dedicated spray "AESUB" has been well-received for its ability to have the sprayed coating "naturally disappear." A new addition to its lineup is "transparent"! Since the coating layer, which was previously white, can now be transparent, it allows for scanning in a state where colors can be distinguished! In this document, we will explain the condition of the work surface when sprayed, the changes in scanning results due to the spray's effects, and the sublimation process after scanning, along with photos and comments. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 64, we used a type of material from the Form 3+, the Tough 2000 resin, to incorporate a helicoil and test its tightening. The Form 3+ is well-received because it allows users to choose materials from a diverse lineup according to their applications. This time, we are focusing on "Tough 2000 resin," which has properties similar to ABS and excels in strength and impact resistance. Common inquiries regarding this material include: "Can it be tapped?" "Can a helicoil be incorporated?" These are the two main questions. Therefore, this time we performed tapping on a workpiece made from Tough 2000 resin to verify how much tightening torque it can withstand. In the documentation, we created three types of female threads, tightened the screws, and explained the torque measurements with numerical data and images. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 65, we tested the newly designed 3D scanner "peel 3" to see how well it can handle dark-colored and black workpieces! During the scanning process of dark-colored and black workpieces, we implemented measures against noise, dropouts, setting changes, and spraying, and after multiple scans, have you ever experienced, "It took more time than I expected..." or "Correcting the captured data is tough..."? This time, we used the newly introduced "peel 3," which is equipped with an IR-VCSEL (infrared vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) light source, making it stronger for dark and black colors, to verify what types of workpieces it can actually handle! In the materials, we will explain various features of dark-colored and black workpieces and the data acquisition results that vary depending on texture, along with photos and comments. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 66, we investigated how thick acrylic can be cut using the low-cost CO2 laser cutter "Cut-Key"! The laser cutter "Cut-Key 900N" for acrylic processing that we handle. It has gained attention for being able to be introduced at a low price while having a high output of 130W. We receive inquiries about questions such as, "What thickness can it cut?" and "What does the cut surface look like?" Therefore, this time we prepared acrylic sheets of various thicknesses to check the maximum thickness of acrylic that can be cut and what the cut surface will look like. The materials will explain the actual cutting process of the acrylic along with images and comments of each cut surface. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" where we introduce what can be done using various products. From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 67, we investigated what changes occur when one of the materials for the Form 3+, "Rigid 10K Resin," is immersed in chemicals! The "Form 3+" has received positive feedback for allowing users to select materials according to their applications from a rich lineup. The "Rigid 10K Resin" featured this time is noted for having the highest rigidity among the Form 3+ resins, but it is also claimed to have excellent chemical resistance. However, there is little information related to chemical resistance for 3D printer models, leading to an increase in inquiries such as, "Will it dissolve or crack?" and "Will this chemical have any effect?" In the materials, we prepared three types of chemicals and immersed test pieces for 24 hours to explain what effects they experience, along with numerical data and images showing the changes. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 69, we prepared to spray the new product "AESUB yellow," a 3D scan-specific spray that "naturally disappears," and examined the spraying experience, the condition of the application surface, and the effectiveness of using an airbrush! The feature of the new product "yellow" is its remarkably thin coating! By using it in combination with an airbrush, it becomes possible to apply a thin and even layer to the targeted areas! In this document, we will explain the application to fine details and large surfaces, along with photos and comments on the unique condition of the application surface achieved with an airbrush. We hope this will be helpful for those who want to scan fine parts of black, transparent, and glossy works or those who are struggling with post-processing during scanning. *You can download the document from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product categories handled by System Create. In Vol. 71, we used the newly launched "Form Auto" expansion unit for the Form 3/Form 3+ from Formlabs to remotely print two models in succession. In offices, the installation space for 3D printers tends to be limited, but when you are in a different location, preparation, post-processing, and moving or waiting for the next print can be necessary. "Form Auto" automates the manual tasks associated with printing on the Form 3+, allowing for continuous printing, monitoring of operational status, and job management even when you are not nearby! "Can I check the printing status from anywhere?" "Can I stop the print or change the job order remotely?" We will explain the flow of remote operation and the state of the models in the bucket after the continuous printing is completed, along with actual images and operation screens.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 72, we investigated how a model would turn out when using ABS material and creating it with a 100% infill rate. Among the resins used in FDM 3D printers, "ABS" is particularly popular due to its excellent properties such as strength and durability. FDM printing allows for the adjustment of infill rates according to the intended use, but how much can the infill rate be increased for ABS, which is susceptible to temperature changes? In Mitarepo Vol. 60, we were able to print without warping even when increasing the infill rate to 30%! This time, we set the infill rate to 100% and created a model with ABS to see how it would turn out. The materials will include explanations along with the appearance of the printed model and measurement results. You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 73, we challenged ourselves to multi-surface machining using the newly introduced compact 5-axis machining center "YORNEW MX220." There are often situations where it feels cumbersome to fix the workpiece with double-sided tape or readjust jigs and clamps every time the machining surface changes during setup. One way to shorten such processes is through machining with a "5-axis machining center." Equipped with tilting and rotating tables, it allows for machining from various directions, significantly reducing setup for each machining surface. However, many may think, "Setting up for indexed machining seems difficult," or "Doesn't setting up the machine and the process take more time?" Therefore, we will actually take on multi-surface machining and explain the flow of setup, settings, and the condition of the workpiece during indexed 5-axis machining, along with photos and comments. You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 74, we tested whether it is easy to remove models over a wide area using the build platform 2L, an option for the large 3D printer Form 3L. The light-curing 3D printer "Form 3 series" continues to evolve, becoming more systematized to allow for smarter and more efficient work processes. The "build platform 2L," a dedicated option table for Form 3L, allows for quick and safe removal of models with a large contact area without the need for tools, simply by pressing a lever. "Will the model break?" "How much time can be saved?" We will explain the differences between using a scraper and the build platform 2L, along with images for comparison.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 75, we will create a bottle-shaped model using PP filament and check the quality of the completed model. Various materials are available for use in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers. In recent years, many filaments of "general-purpose resin" have been circulating in the market, used for various everyday applications. This time, we will use one such general-purpose resin, "Polypropylene (PP)," and create it with the smallest and most affordable model in our FDM 3D printer "CreatBot" series, the "F160-PEEK." PP material is known for being difficult to print due to its properties, but will it be able to be printed beautifully? In the document, we will actually print the bottle-shaped model and present the quality of the model along with actual photos. You can download the document from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 76, we will create screw holes in the newly introduced flame-retardant resin model of the Form 3 series, and verify how much torque it can withstand. The newly added flame-retardant resin in the Form 3 series has obtained the highest grade UL94V-0 among commonly available products. Not only is it highly safe due to its self-extinguishing properties, but it also features fine surface precision and hardness, allowing for screw fastening! Therefore, this time, we actually cut M6 female threads into the model and challenged the limits of screw tightening. We will explain points such as, "Can we create screw holes neatly?" and "Will it break under tightening?" along with images of the actual model surface and the measurement results of tightening torque for three types of female threads. You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We will deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 78, we actually tested the new feature "minimization of laser seam lines" in modeling using the Form 3L. The Form 3L reproduces beautifully smooth surfaces even with conventional modeling settings, but during the modeling of large models, a seam line from the two lasers, known as the "laser seam line," occurs. While the line can be easily removed with sanding, if it appears on detailed areas, sanding can negatively impact the model, which is a process we want to avoid as much as possible. By using this new feature, it has become possible to model without the seam lines being printed on the model, prioritizing surface quality. In this article, we will actually try out the settings to prevent seam lines from occurring, and compare them with models created using conventional methods, along with explanations and images.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 79, we tried 3D printing using one of the rich option parts of the large 3D printer "Modix" series, the "Super Volcano Nozzle." In recent years, the development of large printers has progressed due to the desire to print large models all at once. In such large-scale printing, the concern is the printing time. It is not uncommon for it to take several hundred hours, so users want to shorten the printing time as much as possible. The "Modix" series offers the high-flow hot end "Super Volcano Nozzle" as an option to meet such demands. It is said that high-speed printing can be achieved because the melting area is larger compared to standard nozzles. In this document, we verify the actual printing speed. The results are explained along with images and comments. You can download the document from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 80, we actually created a large model using one of the abundant option parts of the large 3D printer "Modix" series, the Super Volcano Nozzle. The modular large FDM 3D printer "Modix" series is equipped with option parts that can meet various user demands. One of these, the high-flow hot end "Super Volcano Nozzle," has a large melting area, allowing for high-speed printing. In the previous Mitarepo "Super Volcano Nozzle Speed Test," we exceeded the typical speed of 60mm/s and were able to print without issues at 100mm/s. This time, we explain whether it is possible to create a three-dimensional sample at a feed rate of 100mm/s, along with images and comments on the results.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 81, we used a weather-resistant resin print model to verify how resistant it is to material changes through prolonged UV exposure. While light curing allows for fine details, doesn't it make you worry about breakage or color changes over time? There are surprisingly many environments unsuitable for UV-curable resin, not just outdoors but also indoors in places exposed to direct sunlight, as well as areas with temperature and humidity fluctuations. It would be great if we could maintain beauty without worrying about storage methods or placement, thanks to weather resistance. This time, we conducted extensive UV exposure to answer questions like, "How weather-resistant is it?" and "Does it really resist changes?" In the materials, we will explain dimensional changes and the appearance with measurement records and images of the actual models. You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 82, we scanned a workpiece using the stationary type 3D scanner "COPYT3D FX" and examined the dimensional reproducibility of the acquired data. The stationary type 3D scanner "COPYT3D" has made its debut!! Since the scanning field can be adjusted, it can accommodate everything from small to large items. Moreover, it is equipped with a high-resolution camera, allowing for scanning of intricate details! This raises the question... how accurately can it scan!? Therefore, this time we measured the dimensions of the scanned data to investigate its reproducibility. We prepared two types of workpieces and examined the quality of the scans for each. We explain the reproducibility and performance of the 3D scanner with images and tables based on the results. You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 83, we tested how much we could shorten the printing speed using the newly released "high fluidity material" PolySonic PLA. While FDM 3D printers allow for easy 3D printing, have you ever thought, "I want to print faster!"? The printing speed has limitations not only due to the machine's specifications but also because of the material's fluidity. This time, we challenged ourselves to high-speed printing by increasing the feed rate fourfold using PolySonic PLA! "How much can we reduce the printing time?" "What does the model printed at high speed look like?" In the materials, we will explain and observe the printing time and model quality under the same conditions as regular PLA, along with images.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 84, we tried out the new "Breakaway Support" added to the slicer "Preform" for the Form 3+. The Form 3 series continues to receive updates daily. Removing supports from the Form 3 series is becoming increasingly easier, isn't it? However, doesn't removing supports from intricate parts or delicate models still make you a bit nervous? "I want to remove them more safely..." "What if I scratch the model...?" To alleviate such concerns, the "Breakaway Support" has been added as a new feature! This time, we investigated what kind of functionality the "Breakaway Support" has. How does it differ from regular supports...? We prepared two types of data and explained the support removal results and their functionality with images. You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" where we introduce what can be done using various products. From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 85, we checked the surface quality of a model created with the newly launched large FDM 3D printer "D600 Pro2" from the CreatBot series. The latest model from CreatBot, the "D600 Pro2," reflects customer feedback and has become a large FDM 3D printer that is "easier and more user-friendly." The D600 Pro2 is packed with various innovations for stable large-scale printing. Additionally, it is equipped with a mechanism called "Magic Box," which acts on the Z-axis movement to smooth the model's surface. What kind of finish can we expect? In this document, we will create a tall model with the D600 Pro2 and explain the surface condition with images. You can download the document using the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver a little helpful information each time. In Vol. 86, we examined the dimensional reproducibility using the two scan modes equipped in the newly launched compact precision work 3D scanner "IUS3D." With the included high-resolution camera and inclined turntable, detailed scans from various angles can be performed with just one click. It is a fully automatic scanner that can obtain stable data regardless of who is operating it. Furthermore, depending on the quality and purpose of the 3D data required, you can switch between two types of scan modes: "Standard Mode" and "High-Resolution Mode"! This time, we investigated the differences in dimensional reproducibility between these two modes. In the materials, scans were conducted with the same settings for each mode, and the results will be compared and explained using tables and images!

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 87, we tried shaping with the newly released warp-resistant polypropylene (PP) material "JIZAI." We are excited to announce the new arrival of "JIZAI," a warp-resistant material that is one of the materials used in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers! "I want to shape with PP material, but warping occurs, making it difficult to handle..." An innovative material has been newly developed to overturn such fixed concepts! This time, we investigated how much warping occurs. We will verify using both standard PP material and JIZAI. The materials will showcase the shaping process and its results, along with actual photos! You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 88, we examined the differences in transparency of models created with Formlabs' new 3D printer "Form 4" compared to the previous model, Form 3+. Recently, we started selling Formlabs' latest SLA 3D printer, "Form 4." It adopts a unique LFD printing method that significantly reduces printing time without losing detail, and the materials have also been updated, allowing for higher functionality and cleaner prints! Naturally, what you're curious about is the "differences from the previous model," right? In this document, we created flat models using "Clear Resin V5" with the Form 4 and "Clear Resin V4" with the previous model, Form 3+. We will introduce the differences in model transparency under three conditions, along with actual photos! *You can download the document from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 89, we challenged ourselves to injection molding using the print mold of the light-curing printer "Form 4" with the tabletop injection molding machine "Moiron M2-I." The foundation of manufacturing, "prototyping," is increasingly required to be completed in a short time and to be closer to the final product. The tabletop injection molding machine "Moiron," which we are introducing this time, excels at genuine molding and can leverage the advantages of 3D printing in injection molding! Therefore, this time we challenged ourselves to molding with a 3D printed model mold as one method to shorten the prototyping cycle! "Can 3D printing replace molds?" "What is the quality of the molded products?" We will explain these points of interest along with images of the 3D printed mold, the flow of injection molding, and verification of the actual molded products. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 90, we tested how small a QR code can be marked using the laser marker "LF50." The "LF series," which allows marking of text data, barcodes, and QR codes by directing a laser onto the workpiece, has made its debut! The LF series comes with all the necessary equipment packaged together and employs a Q-switched pulsed ytterbium fiber laser, enabling marking even on highly reflective materials like metals! This time, we tried marking a QR code on an aluminum plate to see if it could be recognized. We will verify the quality by gradually reducing the size of the QR code to address questions such as, "How clear will it be?" and "Can fine markings be made?" *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products, based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 91, we examined how fast the printing speed of Formlabs' new 3D printer "Form 4" is by comparing it with the previous model, Form 3+. The newly launched SLA 3D printer "Form 4" by Formlabs has changed its unique printing method from the LFS method used in Form 3+ to a new method called LFD. This has significantly increased the printing speed! Hearing this, aren't you curious about how much faster it actually is? In this document, we created a common model for both Form 4 and Form 3+ and will introduce the differences in printing time when producing one piece versus ten pieces. *You can download the document using the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 92, we examined the dimensional accuracy of the newly launched metal 3D printer "Xact Metal." The "Xact Metal" has joined the lineup of metal 3D printers! It is a state-of-the-art printer developed with the aim of providing low-cost solutions, without compromising on quality as well as print speed. It shapes models by melting and layering metal powder with a standard-equipped galvanometer laser, but just how faithfully can it reproduce the print data? This time, we conducted actual test prints and examined the finish and dimensional accuracy of the resulting models! We will explain points of interest such as "How is metal 3D printing done?" and "What is the quality of the printed objects?" along with a series of images and measurement results from the preparation for metal printing to post-processing. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. We have started handling "SETFIL" as a new carbon fiber material that can be used with the carbon composite 3D printer "Anisoprint Composer." You may be curious about what kind of material it is, but what you probably want to know the most is "how much the strength is improved," right? Therefore, this time, we conducted "tensile tests," "bending tests," and "Charpy impact tests" to check the strength of models created using this "SETFIL." Additionally, to investigate how much difference there is in strength compared to models without carbon, we also conducted similar tests on specimens without carbon. You can view the results of these tests along with images and tables in the materials. *You can download the materials using the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 94, we used the tabletop vertical injection molding machine "Moiron KH-1775D" and challenged ourselves to try insert molding, taking advantage of its vertical features. A new vertical tabletop injection molding machine, the "KH-1775D," has been added to the "Moiron" series of tabletop-sized injection molding machines! The "KH-1775D" can be operated easily with a simple method. Additionally, vertical injection molding machines have characteristics that make them suitable for insert molding. This time, we challenged ourselves to try insert molding with the "KH-1775D." "Isn't insert molding difficult?" "The mold structure seems complicated..." We will explain these points of concern, from mold preparation to the flow of injection molding, along with images of the actual molded products. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 95, we used "Fuse Blast" to automatically perform post-processing on two types of hollow-shaped models created through powder molding, investigating how much material could be removed. The "Fuse Blast," which automatically performs post-processing for the powder molding 3D printer "Fuse 1+ 30W," has made its debut! By rotating the basket during the blasting process, it can automatically remove the powder attached to the model! So, aren't you curious about how much can be removed? This time, we created two types of hollow-shaped models and investigated how much could be automatically removed. While confirming the performance of Fuse Blast, we will conduct automatic processing and use CT to verify its capabilities. The materials include images of the work process and CT scans. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 96, we investigated the dimensional reproducibility of the large-format light curing machine "ProtoFab." The new "ProtoFab SLA-DLC series" light curing machine promises to achieve large size, high speed, and high quality! It automatically controls the laser output and spot diameter according to the model's shape, reproducing optimal surfaces and edges. How faithfully can the in-house machine "ProtoFab SLA600EX-DLC" reproduce in a 600×600mm build area? This time, we used the entire build area to create test pieces and examined the model's finish and dimensional accuracy! "Can a beautiful model be made with high-speed printing?" "Will the edges not be clean if the build area is large?" We will explain these points of concern along with the measurement values of the actual printed models. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series based on the concept of "I tried doing this!" where we introduce what can be done using various products. From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 97, we examined the "Smart Support" feature for photopolymerization included in the data editing/generation software for 3D printers, "Voxeldance Additive." Smart Support is a function that adds support only to the underside of the model, avoiding other surfaces during generation. By preventing support from appearing on the model, it helps maintain the surface quality of the upper part of the model while reducing the effort required for post-processing like sanding. Hearing this, you might wonder, "Will the shape collapse even if support is generated only in certain areas?" or "What kind of shape will it take?" This time, we generated two types of support using the same model and conducted the printing to check their characteristics and usefulness. In the materials, we will present the results of support removal along with actual images. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver helpful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 98, we challenged ourselves to create using the newly offered "Open Material Mode" from Formlabs. Formlabs has newly started licensing the "Open Material Mode," which allows for the use of any material for printing with the Form 4, further expanding the possibilities of creation! However, you might have questions about the actual user experience, such as "Can it print nicely?" or "Does it seem difficult to set up?" So this time, we used the weather-resistant resin "Fort Resin" to create a sample model! The materials' settings, configurations in Preform, and the appearance of the model after printing are explained with images in the documentation. *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product genres handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 99, we tested how much can be automatically scanned using the 360° rotating ±40° inclined table equipped with the small precision work 3D scanner "IUS3D." The small desktop 3D scanner "IUS3D" features a rotating table that allows for automatic scanning from various directions with 360° rotation and inclination. With a single click, it can automatically scan while rotating from each direction, enabling stable data acquisition regardless of who is operating it! However, in reality, you might wonder, "Can it automatically scan without holes or omissions?" or "Isn't it difficult for shapes with deep irregularities?" Therefore, this time we automatically scanned a workpiece with holes and grooves while applying rotation and inclination! In the materials, we will explain the scanning process and differences in capture quality using images! *You can download the materials from the button below.

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" From the wide range of product categories handled by System Create, we deliver useful information each time. In Vol. 100, we tried out the "Section Cut" feature included in the data editing/generation software for 3D printers, "VoxelDance Additive." The "Section Cut" feature of "VoxelDance Additive" allows for easy division operations that take into account the joining parts necessary for assembling the model! You can simply select the division points, and choose from two types of connection methods: lap joints and connector pins. This time, we prepared two types of models and performed the data division, followed by actual printing and assembly. "There seems to be a difficult image associated with data division..." "Can I align the model correctly and neatly...?" We will introduce the actual operations and images of the printed models along with these points of interest. *You can download the materials from the button below.
