New Stacker S4 Industrial-Grade 3D Printer Unveiled

3D printer manufacturer Stacker has unveiled their latest 3D printer model, the Stacker S4 at the Hannover Fair taking place in Germany this week.

The industrial-grade 3D printer with a maximum build volume of 355 x 525 x 650 mm can work with up to four print heads, producing four parts at once thanks to its “multi-part” technology.  Each of the print heads can be removed to maximise the build area. While being optimised for high-tech composite filaments such as colorFabb’s XT-CF20, the S4’s universal filament rail accepts any filament on the market.

The Stacker S4 can operate in three different print modes. The single-part mode is used to print one part using one print head, the multi-part mode allows you to print multiple copies (up to four) of the same exact part, and the multi-material mode enables users to print one part with more than one type of material.
