PLA (Polylactic Acid) is probably the easiest material to work with when you're first starting out with 3D printing. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic that has been derived from renewable resources like corn starch & sugar cane. This makes PLA environmentally friendly & very safe to work with. PLA also has a very sharp glass transition point so if you use a fan to cool it, it will set into a solid very quickly. PLA can achieve a greater range of geometries than are possible with other plastics. It also reduces the thermal stress on the printed part, making warping less of an issue with larger PLA parts. ...

ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is considered the second easiest material to work with when you start 3D printing. The same kid-safe material that Legos are made from, ABS is also a strong & tough engineering polymer commonly used to produce car bumpers. Though durable, considerations must be made when printing larger objects as thermal stress can cause ABS to warp as the part cools. ABS is suitable for light, rigid, molded products with good shock absorption & wear resistance. ...

The Cube Pro features build platform with ultra high-resolution. With ultra high-resolution settings of 70-micron thin print layers, professional quality printing has never been so large or easy. Cube Pro will support nylon, along with strong ABS & compostable PLA plastic for production. Create functional prototype models or make end-use parts for your engineering applications. The Cube Pro is a versatile printer for both the engineer & hobbyist alike. Nylon is exceptionally durable for high heat resistance, high strength to weight ratio, or parts requiring secondary operations like painting, machining or adhesive bonding. A controlled process environment ensures enhanced accuracy & reliability of print for effortless, professional quality every time for your largest ABS plastic prints. Automated settings ensure home-safe printing in your mancave, on your workbench & at your desktop. ...

Boasting 3 Dconnexions patented optical sensor technology, plus an advanced ergonomic design, Space Explorer offers effortless navigation for more than 100 of todays most powerful 3D design & visualization applications. Simply push, pull, tilt or twist the Space Explorers controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom & rotate 3D objects & environments. Space Explorer features an array of easy-to-reach function keys labeled & pre-programmed with commands from leading design applications. Keys automatically map as you move between applications for unified navigation. Gone are the days when 3D navigation meant endless mouse clicks to move around an object or to fly through space & remembering how to change views & control objects within the X, Y, Z axes...one tedious step at a time. Plus, it is no longer necessary to remember different applications unique commands for manipulating 3D objects or scenes. Using Space Explorer together with a mouse engages both your hands in a natural, intuitive work style. One hand drives the Space Explorer, positioning your model, then rotating, panning & zooming in one single, fluid motion. Your mouse hand can simultaneously edit the model or select menu items. ...
