The print tip heats the material to extrude a thin string of plastic which adheres to the print pad in layers . The print pad
lowers after each layer so that each one builds upon the last. This process continues through the final layer, until your
creation is complete .

pRInT MaTeRIals
The CubeX can use two different types of print materials: PLA and ABS. Each material has unique benefits and you can
guide your selection based on the properties your part requires .
pla
This is a hard plastic that has a low environmental impact . It is derived from renewable, starch-based resources .
We recommend using PLa when printing extra-large parts on CubeX as it is a more stable print material
PLa is the optimal support material for industrial abs parts . PLa has the ability to dissolve away in caustic soda solutions
supported by an ultra-sonic tank . (see page 36 for more information)
abs
This is a well-known plastic known for its strength and industrial properties .
as a build material, abs is good for both small and large parts .
abs works as an excellent support material for extra-large PLa parts .
