Zortrax Inventure

Compact tool for your inventions

Inventure supports single and dual-extrusion

Single-extrusion allows printing supports and the model with the same filament. In dual-extrusion the model and water-soluble support structures are printed with separate materials.

External and dedicated materials

Zortrax Inventure works with a wide range of external and dedicated materials available on standard spools. Both external and dedicated filaments can be printed in dual and single-extrusion modes.

Powerful device of innovation

Zortrax Inventure is an affordable desktop machine with capabilities found almost exclusively in large industrial 3D printers: a dissolvable support system, an enclosed heated printing chamber, a built-in HEPA filter, and a capability to work in dual or single extrusion modes. Compatibility with a wide range of filaments like nylon or highly durable ABS blends makes Zortrax Inventure a versatile tool for engineers, designers, and doctors.

Single and dual-extrusion

Inventure supports single and dual-extrusion modes.

Enclosed printing chamber

The build platform is sealed off from the environment to ensure controlled 3D printing conditions.

Built-in HEPA filter

A HEPA filter intercepts over 99% of 3D printing emission.

External materials support

Third-party filaments available on spools are fully supported in both single and dual extrusion modes.

Intuitive slicer

Z-SUITE is an intuitive slicer designed specifically to support the process of preparing models for 3D printing. Its main role is to convert file formats generated by 3D modeling software into .zcode - a format readable by Zortrax Inventure. The exported .zcode file contains all the information necessary for the device to 3D print a model.

Water-soluble support material

In dual-extrusion mode, Zortrax Inventure prints supports out of Z-SUPPORT Premium, a BVOH water-soluble filament. They can be removed in Zortrax DSS Station wich keeps the water at optimal temperature and circulates in around the model to achieve high dissolution rate. Supports printed on the Inventure in the single-extrusion mode are made of the model material and have to be removed mechanically.

Step 1 Put into water

Take the model off the build tray and submerge it in water inside the Zortrax DSS Station.

Step 2 Rinse

Take the model out of the Zortrax DSS Station. Sometimes it's necessary to remove remnants of support with a brush included in the kit.

Step 3 Dry

Carefully dry the model once the support dissolution is done. That's all. The support structures are gone.

Upgrade your Zortrax Inventure

If you already have Zortrax Inventure just install the latest firmware to enable support for both dedicated and external materials available on standard spools and an option to work in a single extrusion mode.
