Not too long ago we told you about Tractus3D’s high-temperature 3D printing solutions for high-performance materials such as PEEK, PEKK and ULTEM. Daniël van Mourik, the Chief Technical Officer and Founder of the Dutch company explained: “Six years ago I made my first Delta printer with a build volume of 370 x 600 mm, which was very big at that time. Following this, I saw a new challenge, high-temperature 3D printers. I decided to take on this new challenge and start a new company, this is how in March 2015, Tractus3D was born.” Bringing to the market a solution that combines high-temperature and a large build volume represents the companies’ aim to respond to the professional needs of those in the industry.

The manufacturer has brought three series to the market, the DESK, the PRO and the LARGE VOLUME series. In its PRO series, it counts two 3D printers, the T650P and the T850P, both of these machines have been designed to work with high-performance thermoplastics in order to create strong yet light parts. As part of its expansion in this market, Tractus3D brought some new features to the T850P, revealed during this year’s largest fair for additive manufacturing, Formnext.

More specifically the T850P is a Delta 3D printer, which enables a printing speed of up to 200 mm/s and a print volume of 300 x 380 mm. The Mohawk is the new release for this 3D printer, it is a functional filament warmer and holder. Thanks to its heated chamber, it can dry and warm the filament, an important feature for materials such as PEEK since they react to humidity in the air. The Mohawk can hold up to two small spools for dual extrusion, or one big one.
