Facilities and Equipment

The facility include an anechoic chamber, in which free space conditions are ensured by covering walls, ceiling and floor with microwave-absorbing material to suppress reflections that could deteriorate the measurement results. The chamber allows for antenna parameters, radar cross section, electromagnetic interference, and system tests and measurements over a wide frequency range.

The chamber has dimensions of 6.7 m x 3 m x 2.5 m, whereas the distance between the antennas is equal to 4 m. The chamber is equipped with:

• Mitsubishi Robotic Arm, which can be utilized for measurement of fully 3-D antenna radiation patterns
• Rohde & Schwarz ZNB40 Vector Network Analyzer 10 MHz – 40 GHz
• Reference horn antennas operating up to 40 GHz

The original Prusa SL1 3D printer features a high-resolution 5.5” LCD display and silent trinamic drivers, SL1 is able to reach a minimum layer height of 0.01 mm. With the recommended layer height of 0.025-0.1 mm and print area size of 120 x 68 x 150 mm detailed objects can be printed. The Original Prusa SL1 3D printer is built around a rigid, heavy aluminium body, which minimizes vibrations and ensures the best possible printing performance. The acrylic glass lid prevents UV light leakage and the tilt platform has a small ridge to stop light resin spills. The SL1 is compatible with a wide range of different resins. Thanks to non-proprietary technology used, the running costs are low, and the printer maintenance is easy. The Original Prusa SL1 is fully compatible with PrusaSlicer allowing for automatic support generation, library of tested resins, network printing and many other advanced features.

After printing an object from resin, it is highly recommended to wash it in isopropylalcohol and cure the surface using UV light. The CURING AND WASHING MACHINE is a 2-in-1 device, and it takes care of both tasks. It can even automatically select the right mode. Complete specification of the printer can be found under the link: https://www.prusa3d.com/original-prusa-sl1/#_ga=2.210906387.76871220.1599123271-1946283413.1595492416

The Original Prusa I3 MK3S is the successor of the award-winning Original Prusa i3 MK2 3D printer. The new MK52 Magnetic Heatbed holds a replaceable alloy spring steel sheet with a PEI surface.  With the MK3S the reworked Y axis from aluminum extrusion was introduced. It provides the same rigidity as some other printers while providing the sleek look of our milled Dural frame. The frame is also optimized to add 10 mm of Z height totaling at 210 mm. Thanks to the new Trinamic2130 drivers and Noctua fan, the MK3S is extremely quiet in the stealth mode. But the MK3S is quieter than 99 % of the available printers, even in the Normal mode. With MK3S a completely reworked extruder with a new filament sensor was also introduced. The new sensor is using the optical sensor which is triggered by a simple mechanical lever. This sensor doesn’t care about the optical properties of the filament (it can be completely invisible) and cannot die because of mechanical wear. Moreover, the new EINSY RAMBo motherboard with Trinamic drivers not only makes the MK3S silent but it also can detect skipped steps and layer shifting. Furthermore, Original Prusa i3 MK3S Multi Material 2S is the unique consumer option to print with up to 5 different materials simultaneously. The full feature list of the printer is available under the link: https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/181-original-prusa-i3-mk3s-3d-printer.html#
