iSQUARED Reconditioning Process for Used 3D Printers
The reconditioning process for used 3D printers is a meticulous and multi-step procedure designed to restore pre-owned machines to optimal working condition. Our goal is to ensure that each refurbished printer meets the same high standards of performance and reliability as a new unit, giving you access to top-quality 3D printing technology at a fraction of the cost. Moreover: By choosing a reconditioned 3D printer, you’re not only saving money but also contributing to sustainability by extending the lifespan of valuable technology.
1. Comprehensive Inspection and Diagnosis
The process begins with a thorough inspection and diagnosis of the used 3D printer. Our experienced technicians assess every component of the machine, from mechanical parts to electrical systems, identifying any wear, damage, or malfunctions. This initial evaluation is critical in determining which parts need to be repaired or replaced to ensure the printer operates smoothly and reliably.
2. Replacement of Worn or Damaged Parts
One of the key steps in the reconditioning process is the replacement of worn or damaged parts. Over time, components like belts, bearings, print heads, and nozzles can degrade due to regular use. We source genuine replacement parts directly from the original manufacturer and we use refurbished parts to ensure the highest level of compatibility and performance. By replacing these critical parts, we extend the machine’s lifespan and restore it to like-new operational standards.
3. Cleaning and Calibration
Once the mechanical components have been serviced, the 3D printer undergoes a deep cleaning to remove any dust, debris, or leftover material from previous prints. Proper cleaning ensures that the machine can produce accurate and clean prints without any contamination. Following this, we perform a precise calibration of the printer’s systems, including alignment of the print bed, leveling the platform, and adjusting the extruder to ensure it meets the original factory specifications. This step is essential for achieving the high level of print quality that users expect from professional 3D printers.
4. Extensive Print Testing
After the machine has been cleaned and calibrated, it moves on to the testing phase. Here, we run a series of test prints to assess the performance of the printer in real-world conditions. This testing allows us to verify that the printer can produce parts with accurate dimensions, fine details, and consistent material deposition. Our technicians monitor the machine closely during this phase, making any final adjustments necessary to ensure optimal performance.
5. Final Quality Control and Certification
Before a 3D printer is certified as reconditioned, it undergoes a final round of quality control checks. These checks ensure that all components are functioning properly, that the machine produces high-quality prints, and that it meets the manufacturer’s original performance standards. Once the printer passes these rigorous inspections, it is certified and made available for sale as a reconditioned unit. This certification guarantees that the printer is ready for immediate use in your production environment.
