Fast

Compared to a Cartesian process, rotary printing uses far less support material and prints faster.

Stable

Stresses are directed inward toward axis center. No warping, no bed-peeling.

​

Unique

This is unlike any other additive process. For certain applications, this capability is critical.

​

1.

Generate CAD file of the final part

• Must be the same ID as the print bed/mandrel (can be any diameter, but must match)

• Fully compatible with multi-material printing

• Compatible with hybrid operations, with additional steps

2.

Use the Diabase Wizard to assist toolpath generation

• Automatically "unwrap" CAD file

• Slice normally in Simplify3D

• Automatically re-map onto correct machine axes

3.

Configure machine for rotary operations

• Install rotary axis and optional tailstock (30 seconds install)

• Install round stock in ER32 collet or rotary vise

• Run macro to configure A-axis for printing and auto bed levelling

• Home axis and level bed/mandrel

4.

Print then remove part from mandrel

• TPU can be released directly from mandrel with solvent and a long prying tool

• Rigid material will require a sacrificial layer - either a layer on the mandrel, or a layer of printed support material (preferably soluble)
