SACO, ME--(Marketwired - Aug 18, 2015) - Xuron Corp. has introduced two ergonomic hand tools that are ideally suited for removing support material from a 3D print, trimming filament, and servicing the printer itself.

Xuron® 3D Printer Hand Tools feature the Model 170-II Micro-Shear® Flush Cutter which has a glare-eliminating black finish for optimum visibility when trimming filament and cleaning up prints. For holding filament and removing post printed support struts, the Model 450 Tweezer-Nose™ Plier has a needle nose precise enough to hold a human hair.
