# Raise3D E2 Open Access

Raise3D E2 is a desktop IDEX printer, IDEX stands for independent dual extruders - they can operate independently or both extruders can operate simultaneously.

IDEX printers have the following modes:

* Dual Material Printing
* Duplication Mode allows both extruders to print in a synchronized manner, producing a model and its exact copy. 
* Mirror Mode prints a model and an inverse of that same model at the same time.

## Compatible Materials

NExT Lab stocks PLA material, but the printer is compatible with the standard array of materials:

[Use Own Filament](/next-lab/3d-printing/use-own-filament.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

* Wood filament can produce stringy effect results, slower print speed recommended
* Clear filament requires slower print speed and higher temperature
