Smart cabinet
Complete the Epsilon ecosystem
The Smart Cabinet (SC) offers seamless integration with your BCN3D Epsilon printers and maximizes their uptime. Its filament humidity control boosts your printers’ performance, keeping your materials in optimal condition, and its uninterruptible power supply protects your work at all times, avoiding the risk of losing your print job due to power outages.
Supported by our smart drying technology, the humidity-controlled environment has been designed to extend the service life of your materials, protecting the filament and reducing print failure due to moisture, significantly improving the quality of your prints.
⚡- Protect your equipment and your work against power outages thanks to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). In the event of a blackout of up to 10 minutes, this technology will enable the 3D printer to automatically resume the printing process once the power is back. In case of a longer outage, the UPS will save the printer’s last position, so that you can manually resume the printing process at any time
🔧- Depending on the configuration chosen, the dehumidifier can fit up to 10 small spools (width up to 55mm), 4 big spools (weight up to 2,5kg), or 6 BCN3D Spool Cartridges -or a combination of them! Arrange your filaments in the most convenient way according to your needs, and reduce the need for loading and unloading processes.
📦- Full 3D printing solution. The Smart Cabinet integrates with your 3D printers, materials, and software, streamlining your workflow thanks to its fast and easy loading of up to ten filament spools and its wheeled structure, which enables effortless transportation across your facilities.
The mechanical properties of the 3D printed part are strongly dependent on how well the filament is stored, with +22% tensile strength. + 57% young’s modulus of rigidity.
Our Smart Drying Technology
Within our humidity-controlled environment, an automatic drying cycle pushes the air through a compartment filled with alumina, a material that absorbs moisture.
The desaturated air is pushed back towards the material compartment, free of any moisture that could damage your filaments. This cycle reduces significantly the environment’s relative humidity. This technology effectively keeps the filament dry, ensuring that the materials maintain their mechanical properties throughout the whole 3D printing process.
Let’s meet the key features of the smart cabinet :
1. Humidity-controlled environment
Designed to extend the service life of your materials, the alumina absorbs the moisture from the air in the chamber. Once it becomes saturated, this material is isolated from the filaments and gets heated up until it releases the moisture, purging it out of the system. This process effectively keeps the filament dry and in optimal condition for its use.
2. Storage and transportation
Maintain your workspace organized and clean at all times thanks to the ample storage space, designed to keep extra building plates and unopened filament spools – and thanks to the Smart Cabinet’s transportable structure, your printer can be easily moved across your facilities.
3. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
The UPS electric signal filtering protects your print from any possible outages and micro-cuts on the electric current. In the event of a blackout of up to 10 minutes, this technology will enable the 3D printer to automatically resume the printing process once the power is back. In case of a longer outage, the UPS will save the printer’s last position, so that you can manually resume the printing process at any time and without consequences for your print.
4. Complete working station
The tool drawer provides you with every utensil you might need, and thanks to the extra space for your laptop or tablet you count on a full working station right by your 3D printer.
5. Print while in storage
The dehumidifier can fit up to 10 small spools (weight between 750 g – 1 kg and width up to 55mm) or 4 big spools (weight up to 2,5kg). These can be loaded to your 3D printer directly from this humidity-controlled environment, therefore allowing it to print while keeping the materials in perfect condition.
