ZYYX Pro

The ZYYX Pro is an FDM 3D printer from ZYYX Labs AB with a 260 x 225 x 200 mm build volume.

Specifications

The ZYYX Pro is a professional-grade FDM/FFF 3D printer developed by the Swedish manufacturer ZYYX Labs AB as the successor to the ZYYX+ model. This machine is engineered specifically for rapid manufacturing of functional industrial prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts from engineering-grade polymers and carbon-fiber composites. The core technological pillars of the ZYYX Pro include the SwiftTool™ quick-swap printhead system, the OfficeSafe™ active air filtration unit, the proTect™ environmental humidity-control material drybox, and a patented build plate engineered to secure advanced composite materials without requiring a heated bed.

Calibration

Maintaining consistent industrial-grade print quality with the ZYYX Pro requires careful attention to bed adhesion and proper handling of composite materials. Below are the 8 essential calibration steps:

• Preparing and scuffing the laminated build plate surface

The laminated surface of the bed is chemically designed to secure nylon and carbon composites when cold. Any oil film from skin contact will cause print detachment.

Common defects

• Hardware defects and mechanical weaknesses
• Laminated build plate wear and tear: Because nylon is printed on a cold bed, the adhesion forces are high. Removing parts with a metal spatula can easily tear or scratch the polymer laminate. The surface wears out after approximately 6 months of active printing, and replacements are relatively expensive. Solution: Always allow the printed part to cool completely before removal.

What it is used for

Best use-cases

• Manufacturing jigs and fixtures: Printing proCarbon (Nylon-CF) yields components with high tensile strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, making the ZYYX Pro an excellent choice for custom manufacturing tools.
