自2021年10月推出以来FlashForge’s Creator 4 3D printerhas carved a niche for itself in the commercial-grade market space.
作为Flashforge投资组合中最高的性能系统，IEDEX（可互换的独立双挤出机系统）FFF 3D打印机正好针对设计，工程和制造公司，以寻求功能性原型和最终用途生产。
According to FlashForge USA, its latest machine has seen impressive adoption rates in a wide variety of sectors such as consumer goods, electronics, healthcare, and manufacturing tooling, demonstrating the printer’s commercial production capabilities. This marks a notable shift from the firm’s previous target markets, which include the consumer, educational, and prosumer verticals.
The Creator 4 is available in two different models – the Creator 4-A and Creator 4-S – each with its own pair of extruders and material capabilities.
A commercial-grade build
Flashforge的Creator 4构建了生产力。该系统具有相当大的400 x 350 x 500mm的构建量，为用户提供了足够的空间，用于大型和小批量生产。与传统的双重挤压设置不同，IDEX龙门群体允许同时使用两个打印头，使3D打印机的吞吐量增加一倍。
To enable the processing of higher performance filaments, the Creator 4 also has an enclosed build chamber that can be heated to 65℃. This helps to keep the printed parts from contracting and warping, and is crucial for filaments that require warmer environmental conditions such as ABS and PA.
从打印机的框架看，很明显，Flashforge将重点放在了稳健性上。Creator 4提供了一个完整的不锈钢主体，并具有新的S型运动控制系统，以使其更平滑，并保持高质量。还有一组用于X和Y轴的线性轨道螺旋螺旋，进一步提高了运动的稳定性。
在软件方面，创建者4具有专用的细丝管理系统，该系统会根据所使用的材料自动控制温度。其他功能包括HEPA 13活性碳空气过滤器，用于安全室内使用，前面是7英寸的触摸屏以及用于远程构建监视的内置摄像头。
Your choice of two models
The Creator 4 prides itself on its flexibility and versatility, with an interchangeable IDEX setup that enables users to leverage their own choice of extruders. For example, the Creator 4-A model comes complete with two Extruder-HT printheads that offer a nozzle temperature of 320℃ and a maximum print speed of 200mm/s. This variant is best suited to printing engineering filaments like PC, PA, and PP.
另一方面，我们拥有创建者4-S型号，该模型带有两个挤出机-HS打印头。它在360°C下具有更高的喷嘴温度，并且是由碳和玻璃纤维增强复合材料制成的打印零件所必需的。
There’s also a third, standalone printhead on offer (the Extruder-F), which packs a 265°C nozzle temperature and a maximum print speed of 100mm/s. It’s designed specifically for flexible filaments such as TPU and TPE.
It’s worth noting here that FlashForge’s IIDEX system is highly interchangeable. At any given time, users of any model are able to substitute out their default extruders for any of the three types (HS, HT, F) depending on their material requirements. The versatility and adaptability of the IIDEX system are what make it so powerful for commercial customers.
