Presenting E3D’s award-winning ToolChanger & Motion System, the advanced reference platform
for combined multi-function process development, prototyping and manufacturing.
Available as kits of subsystems, the ToolChanger & Motion System can be quickly and easily
customised using E3D’s online configurator to meet your specific requirements.
Featuring best-in-class components from industry leaders, E3D has developed an agile & precise
system with the goal of progressing FDM technologies. The ToolChanger & Motion System is capable
of integrating additive, subtractive and many other technologies into a single process.
E3D’s ecosystem of high-performance hotends, nozzles and extruders are supported and a
selection of tools are available.
With a commitment to excellence, E3D’s rigorous quality control requires all components meet
the highest of standards.
The ToolChanger & Motion System are fully open-source. Blank tool kits and downloadable
CAD gives users the ability to develop their own tools, or adopt community designs.
The Motion System’s X, Y & Z Axes are pre-assembled by E3D, saving you time and eliminating the
need for laborious alignment during user assembly.
The Motion Systems’ CoreXY belt configuration is fast and accurate with a low moving mass
for the ToolChanger’s Kinematic Toolhead to directly mount to.
Moons motors for exceptional speed and control, genuine Gates belts & pulleys for accuracy,
HIWIN linear rails and bearings for smooth movements.
The ToolChanger isn’t limited to just additive, it is also possible to incorporate additive
subtractive, inspection, pick & place tools and gives users the opportunity to develop
and integrate many other tools and processes.
Toolchanging enables true multi-material printing, combining flexibles, carbon filled materials,
and soluble support. Use high-flow Volcano alongside V6 tools for variable track widths,
mixed layer heights and faster prints.
Through our research and development in exploiting tool-changing we have developed the capability
to enhance the FDM process with subtractive machining.
Introducing the future of Desktop 3D Printing...
Additive Subtractive Manufacturing By Layer.
Installing an ASMBL tool into your ToolChanger integrates existing,
mature CAM with traditional additive slicing.
Correctly toleranced holes, non-planar surfacing, sharp edges & exquisitely smooth top faces are all now possible,
straight off the build plate.
To enable ASMBL E3D have developed a Fusion360 Plug-In to generate CAM paths for the ASMBL subtractive tool
Both the Motion System & ToolChanger are compatible with all mainstream slicer software.
All tool changes are handled by the onboard Duet Electronics and Firmware. The flexibility
of the Duet platform empowers users to develop and integrate new tools and processes.
The Duet 2's web interface is the control hub for the ToolChanger & Motion System; upload
your files directly, control the printer, and start prints remotely, all within the
comfort of a web browser.
A precision Omron microswitch allows Mesh bed levelling to compensate for any build
plate imperfections, while laying down the first layer.
The High-Temperature Heated Bed is rated to 200°C, and can reach 100°C in just 80 seconds.
The ToolChanger & Motion System can be configured for high-temperature printing of everything
from Polycarbonate, to PEKK. Vary materials between shell and infill to
optimise parts for greater strength, all without compromising aesthetics or reducing resolution.
Although reference documentation and guidance on aspects of assembly, firmware and calibration
is readily available, the freedom and responsibility of selecting and integrating the tools, components
and subsystems is ultimately placed on the user.
