一、Overview Thank you for your support of our company's products,the guidelines only apply to ADIMLab-gantry 3D printer. This guide is based on Win7 operating system.
* Place the printer on a flat solid platform 5
二、Thanks and Commitment Thanks Thanks for your purchase and support for ADIMLab-gantry 3D printer . You may also purchased our other 3D products or well understand 3D printing technology. But we still want you to read this guide, it contains a lot of important information about the use of the product so that customers get a better 3D experience. By reading and understanding of the operation, you can immediately start your first print.
三、What is 3D Printer? In short, 3D printers are used to three-dimensional computer model into real objects can be touched. The most common 3D printing technology is called FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), namely melting precipitation manufacturing technology, ADIMLab-gantry belong to this one. The way it works is melted on the printing platform supplies plastic called high temperature. After cooling supplies curing, this process occurs at the instant it from the print head is pushed out .
way is to download from the website, which allows registered users to upload 3D models of their own design. (3) 3D Scanner Scanning the object is an alternative method of 3D modeling. 3D scanners to digitize items, collected its geometric data, then save it as a file stored on your computer. Install the appropriate App on your mobile device can be realized 3D scanning. 3.3 Slice output 3D model Slice software can translate 3D models into G-code that 3D printer can read.
Once the input file begins to run in ADIMLab-gantry, and it begins to pile up layer by layer so as to print the 3D model into an actual entity. 4.
