How does the Zortrax 3D Printer Work?
Everything begins with preparing a model. The work on the model can be started in any program which
creates 3D models and generates .stl, .obj, .3mf, or .dxf les. These are the standard le formats sup-
ported by most 3D modeling software – the model is saved as a set of three-dimensional triangles
(triangle mesh).
The next step is to open the .stl le (or other) in Z-SUITE – the program created specically for Zortrax
devices. Z-SUITE prepares the model by slicing it into individual layers and saving it as a .zcode le.
Each layer represents the movement pattern of the extruder and the platform while building the whole
object. Z-SUITE also allows you to choose the material type to be used for the model and to adjust the
necessary print settings, such as the size of the model, layer thickness, the type of inll or how many
support structures should be generated. The le is then ready to be printed.
To start the printing process, turn on the printer, prepare and load the material which corresponds with
the one you have chosen in Z-SUITE.
The full material oer is available at: https://zortrax.com/materials/zortrax-m-series/.
Once your model is prepared, save the .zcode onto the hard drive and then onto an SD card. In order
to transfer the model to the printer, insert the SD card into the card reader at the front of the printer.
Open the Models menu and turn the knob to select the model to be printed. Push the knob to begin
the printing process.
Zortrax M Series includes two 3D printer models – the M200 and the M300, which together with
Z-SUITE and dedicated materials constitute the whole 3D printing ecosystem. Thanks to these de-
vices, it is possible to turn digital, three-dimensional projects into reality using the LPD technology.
Zortrax 3D printers can be used in many industries while designing and prototyping, for instance,
automotive parts, mechanical elements, everyday objects or decorative elements.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with this instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
