The x500 is designed for the continuous operation with high temperature materials. The x500 comes with a large building chamber of 500 x 400 x 450 mm (X/Y/Z) and a series of innovative features that focus on the demands of industrial applications. A solid metal frame and an overall weight of more than 180 kg allow for extremely stable and precise operations. The new water-cooled high temperature hot-end combined with the German RepRap "open platform" philosophy make the x500 the best choice for new material developments in the future.
