3D Systems Cubify CUBEX Duo is a 3D printer that allows you to create physical objects from digital designs. The printer uses a process called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), which melts plastic filament and deposits it layer by layer to build up the object. The CUBEX Duo has a build volume of 255 x 252 x 250 mm, which is large enough to print a variety of objects, including prototypes, models, and even some small finished products.
The CUBEX Duo is a versatile printer that can be used for a variety of applications, including:
- Prototyping: The CUBEX Duo can be used to quickly and easily create prototypes of new products or designs. This can save time and money compared to traditional prototyping methods.
