CUBE is designed for professional and industrial users who need to manufacture large parts with high material flow rates and reduced production times.

It offers a build volume of 1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm, equivalent to 1 m3 of manufacturing capacity.

Its architecture is particularly suited to applications where part size, productivity and deposition capability are key requirements.

• Large functional prototypes
• Molds, patterns and tooling
• Jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids
• Automotive and transportation components
• Large industrial applications
• Low-volume production
• Large parts manufactured with high-flow nozzles
• Pellet extrusion applications
• Simultaneous production using IDEX Copy Mode

CUBE is particularly suitable for companies that need to manufacture large components and want to maximize the amount of material deposited per unit of time.

CUBE uses an open material system and can be configured to work with 2.85 mm filament and, optionally, pellet extrusion.

In filament configuration, it can process materials such as ABS, ASA, PETG, PLA, PA, Nylon and other engineering thermoplastics compatible with the extrusion system.

The filament hotends can reach temperatures of up to 420 C and the heated bed can reach 100 C.

The machine can also be equipped with thermal insulation and a heated chamber for applications where temperature control is especially important, such as large-format ABS printing.

In pellet configurations, material compatibility depends on the material itself, pellet geometry, extrusion system and specific application requirements.

Because CUBE uses an open material system, users are not restricted to proprietary R3DIMENSION materials.

CUBE is designed to operate at high extrusion flow rates, especially in large-format applications where productivity is a key requirement.

In filament configuration, each extruder can reach approximately 200 mm3/s of volumetric flow.

Thanks to the IDEX system, both printheads can operate simultaneously in Copy Mode, allowing a combined deposition capability of approximately 400 mm3/s when the application allows both extruders to work at the same time.

With certain materials and configurations, this can represent a total deposition capacity close to 1.8 kg/h during simultaneous operation.

In pellet configuration, CUBE can be equipped with different extrusion systems depending on production requirements.

A standard pellet configuration can reach approximately 0.8 kg/h, while high-flow configurations can reach approximately 2.5 kg/h.

Actual flow rate depends on material, temperature, pellet size, nozzle diameter, layer height and part geometry.

Yes. CUBE can be configured with one pellet extruder and one filament extruder within its IDEX architecture.

This configuration allows pellet to be used for applications where high productivity and lower raw material cost are priorities, while retaining a filament extruder for applications that require greater control, specific materials or different printing strategies.

For users who work exclusively with pellet, CUBE can also be configured with two pellet extrusion systems.

Likewise, the standard filament configuration uses two independent filament extruders.

The final printhead configuration is defined according to the customer’s application and material requirements.

IDEX stands for Independent Dual Extruder.

CUBE uses two independently moving printheads instead of mounting both extrusion systems on the same carriage.

This architecture allows several operating modes.

• Single Mode: one printhead manufactures the complete part.
• Copy Mode: both printheads manufacture the same component simultaneously.
• Mirror Mode: both printheads manufacture mirrored versions of the same component during the same production cycle.
• Multimaterial Mode: the two printheads can use different materials or extrusion systems when the machine configuration allows it.

Copy Mode can be particularly useful for production, as it allows two components to be manufactured simultaneously while taking advantage of both extrusion systems.

The independent movement of the printheads also allows the inactive extruder to remain away from the printed part.

CUBE and IDENTITY are both industrial large-format IDEX 3D printers, but they are designed around different manufacturing priorities.

CUBE is more focused on applications where build volume, part size and material throughput are the main priorities.

Its 1 m3 build volume, 2.85 mm filament system, larger nozzle options and optional pellet extrusion make it suitable for high-productivity large-format manufacturing.

IDENTITY is more focused on applications that require greater filament versatility, higher processing temperatures and a platform designed for technical materials.

The choice between both machines mainly depends on part size, material, required productivity, level of detail and manufacturing strategy.

CUBE is designed for installation in professional workshops, laboratories and industrial production environments.

The exact installation requirements depend on the selected configuration, especially if the machine includes thermal insulation, a heated chamber or pellet extrusion systems.

In general, installation requires:

• Power supply: electrical installation suitable for the final machine configuration.
• Installation surface: a stable and level industrial floor.
• Working space: sufficient space around the machine for installation, operation and maintenance.
• Network connection: recommended for monitoring, control and remote access.
• Ventilation: suitable for the materials being processed and the requirements of the working environment.

Before delivery, R3DIMENSION can provide the complete installation requirements corresponding to the specific CUBE configuration purchased by the customer.
