Machine Operation

On this page you will find user manuals and operating instructions for most of our machines. What our machines can do is written here: Machines and technologies

Additive Manufacturing Processes (3D printing)

FLM (Fused Layer Modeling)

Use FLM Printer

PrusaSlicer can be used as control software for almost all of our FLM printers.
Alternatives are e.g. Cura and Slic3r

Available FLM Printers

Prusa i3 MK3s
Prusa i3 MK3s with Prusa MMU2s
Ultimaker 2 Extended+
Lulzbot TAZ 5
Aya (DIY-Drucker, Kossel Mini)

Composite Material Printer

Use Composite Material Printer

There is currently no software available for download for these printers. Slicing takes place online in the browser and requires authorised user access.

Available Composite Printers

Stereolithografie (Short SL)

Use SL-Printer

When handling resin, be sure to observe the safety regulations and instructions. Special gloves are needed, for example
Our Formlabs Form 1+ (no longer supported by the manufacturer, so an older version of the control software must be used).

Available SL printers

Prusa SL1
Formlabs Form1+
Formlabs Form 3

Laser-Sintern (Short: LS or SLS)

Use LS printer

When handling LS printers, be sure to observe the safety regulations and instructions. Gloves and face masks are needed, for example.
Control software is Sinterit Studio and is available to staff
Control software for Sintratec Kit is provided on request

Available LS Printers

Sintratec Kit
Sintarit Lisa Pro

Laser Cutter

Use Laser Cutter

Special care must be taken when handling the laser cutters. There is an acute fire hazard. Safety instructions and briefings must be followed.
All 3D CAD programs that can export 2D graphics and all 2D drawing programs are suitable as design software for the laser cutters.

Available Laser Cutters

Glowforged Pro
Lutus Blue125-DC

Collaborative Robot Arm

Use Robot Arm

When handling the robot, be sure to observe the safety instructions and training. For example, no person may be in the robot’s field of action.

Available Robot Arm

UR10e

Cutting Plotter

Use Cutting Plotter

When handling the cutting plotter, be sure to observe the safety instructions and training. There is a risk of tripping, for example.

Available Cutting Plotters

Roland UV printer/ cutting plotter LEC-330

CNC Mill

Use Milling

When handling a milling machine, be sure to observe the safety instructions and training. For example, safety glasses and hearing protection are needed.
Any 3D CAD programme is suitable as design software. One recommendation is Fusion 360, which generates the design and the G-code required for the milling process (CAM – Computer Aided Manufacturing).
