In reply to JohnHind. Hi John, thank you very much for the clarification and suggestion. This is a very smart approach. Making the middle thicker can indeed allow greater stiffness. On the other hand, it might add load to Y axes which increases the level of inertia during high-speed machining. Therefore, we wanted to strike a balance between stiffness and weight. Our tests proved that the current design can ensure the need for stiffness. Thanks again for your comments. We look forward to discussing more with you in the future.

Hi, I think I was not clear enough. I was admiring the new base casting design. I was suggesting a similar design, but inverted, would improve the structure of the (moving) printing bed. Like the base, the bed could be thin above the linear modules and much thicker between the modules rather than uniform across the entire width as at present. This would allow greater stiffness, or the same stiffness with less material, without increasing the overall height. Structurally this is similar to an inverted truss bridge: thin at the supported ends, thick at the unsupported middle. This is also why the position of the linear modules on the Artisan is better than on the V2 – it avoids having cantilever sections at the sides, with a single beam supported at both ends.

In reply to JohnHind. Hi John, the current design can ensure stiffness. As for the remaining free space, we thoughtfully designed the appearance of Artisan to align it with consumer product aesthetics. For example, we used the rounded corner in the design of the base plate and hollowed out some parts to give it a lighter look.

Having the linear modules recessed into the base casting and moving them to the outer edge of the bed are both smart mechanical improvements versus the 2.0. But why not go a step further and use the remaining free space between the modules to increase the thickness and therefore the stiffness of the bed casting?

1 – How much?
2 – When will it be released?
3 – Is the current model (2.0 350T) upgradable to the Artisan?

I have the older (2.0 350T) model not one year old yet and this comes out. A little frustrated with the responce.

Great News…(400)3
What about printing speed?
when it will be available?
How much would the printing module cost ?
