Airwolf’s AXIOM 3D printers available from Hawk 3D Proto

Hawk 3D Proto (a subdivision of engineering cutting tool supplier Cutwel) is introducing a range of 3D printers, the AXIOM and AXIOMe, from Airwolf 3D. Hawk 3D Proto is the master distributor for Airwolf 3D in Europe.

The AXIOM model can print in over 30 different thermoplastic materials. Its enclosed print chamber provides a thermally stable environment that is said to minimise the risk of warpage to 3D models. In addition, AXIOM's CoreXY motion control system enables 250 mm/s print and 400 mm/s traverse speeds. It can produce models up to 317 by 200 x 250 mm in size.

The AXIOMe model is tailored more towards the education market. Printing in PLA and low-temperature materials is something most educators prefer, as these are easier to use, recyclable, biodegradable and non-toxic. Therefore, AXIOMe has been limited for low-temperature print use only.
