X PLATFORM

X Platform is a complex of software and hardware solutions for 3D devices by PICASO 3D
designed for additive manufacturing purposes.
End-of-Filament and Filament Flow Control systems with built-in
sensors detect the lament availability and the ow. Based on the data
obtained, Designer XL carries out self-testing and, in case of an abnormal
situation due to the lament absence or uneven ow, automatically starts
the problem-solving algorithm. If the abnormal situation persists, the
printing process is suspended and the printer waits for user’s actions.
Example: the lament is run short of on the spool or broke off during the
printing: Designer XL pauses its operation, reports lack of material, waits
to lament reloading and continues printing.
If the nozzle is completely or partially clogged during printing, the
material ow is stopped or impeded: Designer XL will detect a change
in the uniform ow, pause printing, and start an automatic nozzle high-
temperature cleaning algorithm. If the nozzle cleaning is successful,
printer continues printing; otherwise, printing is paused, and Designer XL
informs the user about the problem.
The Prole System stores parameters for working with materials in the
printer memory. The prole settings are used to control the layer time,
which allows to maintain surface high quality when printing small models;
as well as to control the temperature of radiators, which allows to avoid
overheating of the lament above the thermal barrier and protects the
material in the feed channel from degradation. To start printing , the user
selects a material prole based on the lament loaded. The prole system
provides for using one and the same task in .plgx format to print with any
thermoplastic lament used without preparing a new printing task.
