 The **CubeX 3D Printer** creates three-dimensional parts with print tips that heat material to extrude a thin string of plastic which adheres to print pad layers.  The print pad lowers after each layer so that each one builds upon the last.  This process continues through the final layer, until your creation is complete. The **CubeX 3D Printer** creates three-dimensional parts with print tips that heat material to extrude a thin string of plastic which adheres to print pad layers.  The print pad lowers after each layer so that each one builds upon the last.  This process continues through the final layer, until your creation is complete.

-**General Overview:** To begin the process of creating a printed part from a 3D model, design a part in a CAD package or download one from [http://cubify.com/store/creation_list.aspx?searchtext=&minprice=&maxprice=&category=&tag=&creator=|Cubify.com]]. Before the part can be printed, it must be opened into the CubeX Software (CubeX Software accepts both .stl and .creation files). The CubeX Software creates a .cubex file, which the CubeX uses to build the part. Save the .cubex file onto your USB drive and plug the drive into your CubeX. The CubeX creates the model by pulling filament from the cartridge through the print jets via the delivery tubes. The filament is then jetted through the print tip in a thin string of molten plastic.
