OfficeSafe Ultra™ – Clean and Fume-free Air
Workplace health is of highest priority and the ZYYX Pro II is designed to be perfectly safe for the office desktop. Our new filtering system, a Swedish-made combined HEPA H13 and active carbon filter, removes more than 99.95% of the ultrafine particles, volatile organic compounds, and odors that are created in the air from melting polymers. This innovative, 95 mm thick filter of clean-room class is so efficient that it even cleans the air of the room.
Below to the right you can see a graph of the amount of particles inside and outside of the printer when printing ABS. This measurement was done with a prototype filter that absorbs somewhat less (~99 %) of the particles.
OfficeSafe Whisper™ – Quiet by Design
While designing ZYYX Pro II we tested dozens of power-supplies. They were all found to be noisy, often due to cooling fans suddenly flipping on and off or small whining fans. So, we decided to do our own cooling solution together with a 500 W passive power-supply. That made a huge difference. The ZYYX Pro II PSU is virtually silent.
For filters and cooling we used large fans from Noctua and Arctic, famous for their low-noise design in the gaming PC area. The result is a whisper level 3D printer with a 38 dB(A) sound level while printing with all heating functions active.
The ZYYX MagFlex™ Build-Plate – Easy to Use
The ZYYX MagFlex™ spring steel build-plates make removal of prints easy to do by hand. The 3D printer bottom glass platform, adapted with steering pins for easy positioning of the build-plate, is covered with a magnetic layer. Due to the steering pins, the build-plate is swiftly positioned accurately on the glass platform and attaches firmly by magnetic force.
After printing, the build-plate is lifted from the glass base after which the print is removed from the build-plate by bending the plate. The build-plates are available with three different top layers adopted for different print materials.
Below you can see a demo video.
proTect™ – Protective and Reliable
The ZYYX Pro II MC comes with the proTect™ system that has been developed to maximize filament durability during storage. The filament is kept in a resealable vacuum bag with a dehumidifier capsule. Vacuum is accomplished with an electrical vacuum pump (included). The dehumidifier capsule changes color if it is exposed to moisture, signaling if extra drying of the filament is needed before use which avoids failed prints and saves time and material. During printing, the filament is taken out of the bag and kept dry inside the heated print chamber.

Ceramics for ZYYX Pro II MC
Zetamix Porcelain
Porcelain is a technically advanced material of timeless elegance and exceptional durability. It is designed to withstand heat and thermal shocks, making it ideal for everyday objects that require both style and durability. Whether for decorative pieces or practical items, porcelain adds an exceptional touch of elegance, making it suitable for a wide range of artistic and functional applications. The surface can also be enamaled (glaced) for increased surface eastetics.
Zetamix Alumina
Alumina is widely used in the ceramic field, alumina is a wear resistant material. Alumina can resist extreme temperature and it used to produce parts like a burners, venturi tubes, and other high temperature parts. Because it is an inert material, it is both a good thermal conductor and a good electrical insulator.
Zetamix White Zirconia or Zetamix Black Zirconia
Zirconia is a widely used material in the field of technical ceramics. It has an excellent shock and bending resistance. Ideal for creating original pieces in the luxury sector, Zirconia parts can be craft to obtain pieces with beautiful matte, brushed, polished or mirror like finish.
Zetamix SiC Silicon Carbide
Silicon carbide is an extremely hard material, very resistant to wear and thermal shocks. Ideal for advanced applications such as heat exchangers or military applications, it can also be polished for the creation of mirrors for the aerospace industry.
Zetamix SiC is compatible with the ZYYX Pro II MC printer, but needs an extra-high temperature furnace with partial vacuum for sintering.
Metals for ZYYX Pro II MC
Zetamix H13 Tool Steel
H13 steel is commonly used for hot or cold work tooling application and allows the production of a wide variety of tools such as extrusion die or injection mold. Moreover this material has a high level of ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
Zetamix 316L Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a versatile material, making it a prime choice for a wide range of internal tooling applications. More resistant to impact than a ceramic, it also resists corrosion and wear.
