Thermal control across a build
Eight separately calibrated heaters work with an infrared camera and thermal-control algorithm to regulate the powder bed throughout a job. The reported sampling rate describes chamber monitoring, rather than geometric print resolution.
Powder preparation and workflow
MQC Single serves one printer; MQC Flex can blend and deliver fresh and recovered powder to as many as four. A separate material delivery module can be used with or without MQC. 3D Sprint handles preparation and nesting; the stated maximum build rate is not a guaranteed job throughput.

A larger nominal envelope does not establish better print quality. Fit depends on the configuration, usable area, supports, and orientation.
