Raise3D E3 is an IDEX printer for printing with flexible and composite filaments, including TPU. A single-extruder printer can only print copies of parts one after another. Here, two independent extruders work in parallel and replicate a model in a single print cycle. An auxiliary flexible filament feeder and a composite print head expand the range of materials.

Key features and benefits

  • Max. print speed: 200 mm/s — The speed applies to TPU and composite materials, and TPU requires the auxiliary flexible filament feeder.
  • Surface roughness Ra: < 2 µm — With Hyper Speed PLA Pro, the ironed surface approaches injection moulding in quality.
  • Single-extruder build volume: 330 × 240 × 240 mm — In dual-extruder mode, 295 × 240 × 240 mm is available, so the model size depends on the selected mode.
  • Two independent extruders: duplication and mirror modes print identical models simultaneously, so batch output can double.
  • Desiccant compartments: two compartments keep both filaments dry, which eliminates print defects caused by moisture.
  • Power loss recovery: the printer saves its last position and resumes printing when power returns, while the filament runout sensor additionally alerts the user.

Raise3D E3: faster printing with flexible filaments

Feed speed limits printing with flexible filaments such as TPU. The Raise3D auxiliary flexible filament feeder is a feeding system and buffer that increases the feed speed. Thanks to it, the Raise3D E3 prints TPU at up to 200 mm/s. The condition is that the feeder is fitted.

The feeder also widens the range of materials. The printer works with TPE of Shore (A) hardness from 95 A to 80 A, including TPU-95A, TPU-90A and TPU-80A. TPU, TPE-A, TPE-S and foamed TPE filaments are also supported. All filaments with Shore (D) hardness are compatible as well. The manufacturer has optimised the feeder for footwear production.

Composite filaments and Pro Ironing

Engineering parts require both a strong material and a clean surface. With the optional composite print head, the Raise3D E3 works with PET CF, PET GF and PPS CF. Complex models made from them print evenly and predictably. The head is optional.

Pro Ironing is ironing, that is, smoothing the top layers of a part. The function works with Hyper Speed PLA Pro or Industrial PETG ESD filament and a slicing profile in ideaMaker. The surface quality becomes comparable to injection moulding. The Ra value of less than 2 µm in the specification is given for Hyper Speed PLA Pro with ironing enabled.

IDEX: duplication, mirror, two materials

A series of identical parts benefits from parallel printing. IDEX means two independent extruders in a single print system. Duplication and mirror modes print identical models simultaneously, so the Raise3D E3 can double output. Dual-colour and dual-material modes are also available.

The independent extruders make it possible to print two materials with significantly different print temperatures. The Interlocking function in ideaMaker joins them into a dual-material composite model. The build volume depends on the mode. It is 330 × 240 × 240 mm for one extruder and 295 × 240 × 240 mm for two. Plan the model size according to the selected mode.

Protecting long prints from failure

A long print can be interrupted for several reasons. Each of them is addressed by a separate component.

Desiccant compartments

Two material compartments have a desiccant and keep both filaments dry. This eliminates print defects caused by moisture. Constant high-temperature drying, which distorts dimensions, is not needed. The dimensional accuracy of printed parts increases.

Sensors and recovery

The filament runout sensor on the extruder preserves the print and warns the user that the filament is running out. The power loss recovery function remembers the last position. After power returns, printing continues from that point.

Auto-levelling and printing on a substrate

Preparing the bed for printing takes time. A sensor measures the distance between the nozzle and the bed at various points. Mesh levelling accounts for surface unevenness, which improves the adhesion of the material to the bed and the overall print quality.

Nine-point levelling opens up printing on a substrate: the model is printed on a flat substrate. There is a limitation. The function works only with certain materials and substrate types.

Materials and nozzles

The set of materials defines the printer's range of tasks. The Raise3D E3 is compatible with all Raise3D filaments and with the OMP (Open Material Program) for third-party materials. Slicing profiles for OMP materials are available at https://www.ideamaker.io/.

A 0.4 mm nozzle is fitted as standard. 0.2, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm nozzles are also available. The layer height varies within 0.1–0.5 mm. For 0.4 mm nozzles, a layer height of 0.1–0.3 mm gives a stable result.

Software and connectivity

Preparing models requires compatible software. ideaMaker is used for slicing, and the printer is controlled from a 7-inch touchscreen.

  • Slicing: ideaMaker, GCODE machine code
  • File formats: STL, OBJ, 3MF, OLTP, STEP, STP, IGES, IGS
  • Operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi, LAN, USB port, real-time camera

Air filtration and noise level

A printer in a shared space should limit noise and emissions. The device is fitted with a HEPA filter with activated carbon. The noise level is less than 55 dB(A) during printing. Noise was measured in a quiet room with the front doors and top cover closed, at a distance of 1 metre.

Applications

The Raise3D E3 covers prototyping and the production of end-use parts from flexible and composite filaments. For mixed tasks, the printer is compatible with all Raise3D filaments.

  • Footwear production: the auxiliary flexible filament feeder is optimised for footwear manufacturing. TPU prints at up to 200 mm/s. The Shore (A) hardness range covers 95 A–80 A.
  • Part replication: duplication mode prints identical models on both extruders simultaneously and can double output in a single cycle.
  • Functional composite prototypes: the composite head works with PET CF, PET GF and PPS CF, and the maximum nozzle temperature is 330 °C.
  • End-use parts with a clean surface: Pro Ironing with Hyper Speed PLA Pro and an ideaMaker profile gives a roughness Ra of less than 2 µm.
  • Dual-material products: IDEX combines two materials with significantly different print temperatures, and the Interlocking function in ideaMaker joins them into one model.
  • Printing on a flat substrate: nine-point levelling opens up printing on a substrate, provided the material and substrate type are compatible.
