Full-Size 3D Printers

'FlashForge' Has Debuted the 'Creator 3 Pro' for Better Speed and Efficiency

— December 6, 2021 — Tech
'FlashForge' is a top manufacturer in the 3D printing industry for over a decade now, and it has released an upgraded version of its 'Creator 3' full-size 3D printer. The 'Creator 3 Pro' is an improvement on the Creator 3 in every way. The pro version heats up roughly five times quicker, has more customizability options, and can handle a wider variety of substances to print with.

While the Creator 3 Pro heats up to hundreds of degrees in a matter of minutes and prints objects much more quickly than its predecessor, it is also built to be more heat resistant. The materials used in the pro version are not as susceptible to heat damage, so they will last much longer without needing to be replaced. Additionally, the cooling system is improved over the standard Creator 3, meaning the pro version is a greater investment for professional-grade performance.
