The frame and the motion system decide more than the speed on the box · review
A CoreXY printer with a 220 × 220 × 220 mm build size, automatic leveling, a 280 °C direct-drive extruder and a nozzle that changes in about 3 seconds.
FLASHFORGE prints the build size, the hotend temperature, the warm-up time and the flow of its nozzle. On a shelf where some listings omit even the volume, that makes this printer easy to compare.
A CoreXY frame moves the head and leaves the bed to descend, so a tall part is not shaken back and forth. That is why this design holds its speed better than a bed-slinger.
The listing describes a detachable nozzle changed in 3 seconds, with optional sizes. For anyone who switches between fine detail and fast drafts, that saves real time.

The listing calls it travel speed. Moves between parts reach that; extruding good plastic does not, and the rate depends on the material.
It reaches past PLA and PETG temperatures. Check the filament maker’s range against 280 °C before you buy an engineering material.
