MATERIALS
specially dedicated Zortrax printing materials which maximize the benefits of 3D printing.
These thermoplastic materials are in the form of filaments wound on a spool.
Each material has different properties and can easily be adapted to a wide range of ne-
eds and applications. Moreover, most of the materials can be mechanically or chemically
post-processed.
MOTHERBOARD
the most important part of Zortrax Apoller to which all components necessary for proper
device operation are connected. It is the main printed circuit board that ensures electrical
flow and communication between particular components of the device. The motherboard
is placed behind the screen inside the machine.
PLATFORM
integral part of Zortrax Apoller on which a user places models that will be subjected to
post-processing. The platform can easily be removed as well as inserted back into the
device.
POWER OUTLET AND MAIN SWITCH
the switch enables turning the device on and off. Next to the switch, there is a
power outlet where you plug the power cable in.
POST-PROCESSING
all mechanical and chemical treatments that influence 3D printed objects’ surface in or-
der to make models look more interesting and attractive. These post-processing me-
thods include, for example, smoothing, sanding, painting or gluing two or more parts
together to create one model.
RAFT
the first few layers of material, which begin the whole printing process. These layers are
always printed before the main object and have a larger area than that object. Once the
printing is done, the raft needs to be removed from the platform together with the rest
of the model. The raft enhances the adhesion of the whole print to the platform and
reduces the risk of warping. Before launching the smoothing process in Zortrax Apoller,
RAFT always has to be removed from the model.
