 ====== Intended use ====== ====== Intended use ======
-The VP75 Additive Manufacturing System has been designed and built for manufacturing three-dimensional workpieces of nearly random geometries from common 1.75 mm thermoplastic filament strands.\\ The AMS features an advanced hot-end geometry with an extrusion temperature up to 500°C. In combination with the heated build chamber (up to 70°C) and the heated built plate (up to 130°C), this makes the VP75 suitable for processing a variety of materials. It is therefor capable of performing regular additive manufacturing tasks with standard thermoplastics as well as special jobs with technical plastics.\\ +The VP75 Additive Manufacturing System has been designed and built for manufacturing three-dimensional workpieces of nearly random geometries from common 1.75 mm thermoplastic filament strands.\\ The machine ​features an advanced hot-end geometry with an extrusion temperature up to 500°C.
