2Overview
uPrint and uPrint Plus build models from CAD STL files. The printer builds three-dimensional parts by
extruding a bead of ABS material through a computer-controlled extrusion head, producing high
quality parts that are ready to use immediately after completion.
uPrint and uPrint Plus consist of two primary components — the 3D printer and material bay.

EX is the preprocessing software that runs on Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista or
Windows 7 platforms.
uPrint builds a maximum part size of 203 x 152 x 152 mm (8 x 6 x 6 in). uPrint Plus builds a
maximum part size of 203 x 203 x 152 mm (8 x 8 x 6 in). Each material carrier contains 492 cc
(30 cu. in.) of usable material — enough to build continuously for about 48 hours without
reloading. You can add an optional second material bay for extended build times.
