MOVA, a wise residing {hardware} model, launched the AtomForm Palette 300 at a San Jose occasion, presenting a fused deposition modeling (FDM) desktop printer constructed round an automated 12-nozzle-swapping system able to dealing with as much as 12 supplies and 36 colours in a single print. The Palette 300 is a product of AtomForm, the 3D printing-focused division MOVA based in 2023.
The machine’s central differentiator is its OmniElement automated nozzle swapping system, which eliminates guide device modifications by switching between as much as 12 put in hotends throughout a print run. The system routinely identifies every nozzle’s shade, materials sort, and diameter, and compensates for microscopic alignment variations to attain positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm. MOVA claimed nozzle swaps are as much as 50% sooner than comparable programs and that filament waste might be lowered by as much as 90% in comparison with standard purge-based multi-material printing.
Complementing the nozzle system is the ReadyPrint feeding mechanism, which phases the following filament prematurely of every shade or materials transition to reduce purging. Filament storage and conditioning are dealt with by the RFD-6, an built-in unit combining drying, storage, and energetic feeding in a dual-zone configuration. The higher zone dries the filament at temperatures as much as 85°C, whereas the decrease zone feeds immediately into the printer, permitting drying and printing to run in parallel.
The Palette 300 makes use of FOC step-servo motors for movement management, reaching a most print velocity of 800 mm/s with acceleration as much as 25,000 mm/s². The construct quantity is 300 × 300 × 300 mm, the hotend reaches as much as 350°C, and the heated chamber is rated to 65°C — a mix that positions the machine for engineering-grade supplies alongside commonplace FDM filaments. Extruder elements are hardened metal. Three impartial Z-axis motors actively degree the construct plate throughout printing, and real-time vibration compensation operates at excessive speeds. Working noise is rated at 48 dB or beneath. The machine weighs 25 kg and measures 462 × 479 × 579 mm. Distant monitoring and management can be found by the AutoForm app.
