Description
The next generation of 3D printers – Wizard 480+
We are pleased to introduce the Wizard 480+, an advanced modular 3D printer that is capable of printing any type of filament available on the market.
A unique printer with an open modular system. One machine prints and performs the functionality of different printers with a maximum variety of materials.
With 4 automatic interchangeable printheads and 3 to 5 axis technology, Wizard printers become truly multi-tasking and capable of producing the most complex parts. This advanced technology enables the creation of 3D printed parts from continuous carbon fibers that are extremely lightweight yet highly durable.
Main features
- Modular design – Expands the range of applications available.
- Printheads – 4 automatic Direct/Bowden interchangeable printheads, quick change in less than 3 seconds.
- Large print volume – 400*250*370 mm.
- Nozzle temperature – up to 500 °C.
- Repeatable print accuracy – up to 0.02 mm.
- Open system – free choice of filament and slicer. Simplification of the 3D standard, choice of data storage – locally or in the cloud.
- Axial technology – 3 axes.
- Print heads water cooling.
- Built-in patented cutting system in the print head.
- Heating of the working surface – up to 200°C.
- Video surveillance.
Available printing technologies
Unique features make the Wizard 480+ the most innovative and versatile 3D printer in the world, as it is capable of printing with many FDM technologies:
- FFF printing technology – production from fused filaments.
- CFF technology – production from continuous filament.
- Sinter technology – sintered materials.
- Greenling technology – copper wires and optical fibers, etc. in the matrix.
New possibilities with additional modules for Wizard
Adapt the system to your needs: upgraded printheads, heating chamber, air filter, etc. Customized solutions with specific requirements are one of the printer’s strengths.
As a versatile 3D printer, the Wizard 480+ can also be customized with modules such as laser functions, processing, assembly, transportation, and more. For example, modules such as RFID or sensors can be integrated directly into the 3D printed part. These features open up a wide range of application possibilities that were not previously possible.

Continuous Filament Manufacturing (CFF)
Produce high-strength and lightweight parts from solid carbon fiber. Enhance your details with other continuous filaments such as fiberglass, aramid, metal wires and more.
For large components
Using the standard Wizard 480+, you can manufacture components up to 400*250*370 mm in size.
Multiple print heads
The printer can use up to 4 different materials or material variants at the same time.
High temperature printing with water cooling of the head
Water-cooled print heads ensure precision, repeatability and absolute accuracy. Thanks to the advanced FFF technology, it reaches temperatures up to 500 °C, which enables the processing of high-performance polymers.
Unrivaled accuracy
A high-precision gantry design with powerful drives, combined with our many years of experience in custom design and robotics, has resulted in a high-precision additive manufacturing machine for complex industrial requirements.
Made in Europe
Conceived, developed and assembled in Austria with APS (Automatisierte Produktions-Systeme Gesellschaft m.b.H.) in-house precision and highest quality. 90% of all components are manufactured in Europe/EU.
