The price point for the Micro was US$299 [nt 1] and the initial fundraising goal was US$50,000, which was reached 11 minutes after the campaign's launch; [3] the campaign went on to raise a total of US$3,400,000 through pre-sale of 11,000 units. [1] In August 2016, M3D released a new 3D printer aimed at more experienced users named the M3D Pro.
Multi-material 3D printing is the additive manufacturing procedure of using multiple materials at the same time to fabricate an object. Similar to single material additive manufacturing it can be realised through methods such as FFF , SLA and Inkjet (material jetting) 3D printing .
3D Systems manufactures stereolithography (SLA), fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), color-jet printing (CJP), multi-jet printing (MJP), and direct metal printing (DMP, a version of SLS that uses metal powder) systems. Each technology uses digital 3D data to create parts through an additive layer-by-layer process.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
In addition to volumetric color by use of multiple print heads and colored binder, the 3D printing process is generally faster than other additive manufacturing technologies such as fused deposition modeling material jetting which require 100% of build and support material to be deposited at the desired resolution. In 3D printing, the bulk of ...
The 3DBenchy is a 3D computer model specifically designed for testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers. [1] The 3DBenchy is described by its creator, Creative Tools, as "the jolly 3D printing torture-test" and was released (initially only in STL format) in April 2015, with a multi-part, multi-colour model released in July 2015.
Z Corporation (commonly abbreviated Z Corp.) is a company that makes 3D printing and scanning technologies.It was founded in December 1994 by Marina Hatsopoulos, Walter Bornhorst, James Bredt and Tim Anderson, based on a technology developed at MIT under the direction of Professor Ely Sachs.
RepRap (a contraction of replicating rapid prototyper) is a project to develop low-cost 3D printers that can print most of their own components. As open designs , all of the designs produced by the project are released under a free software license , the GNU General Public License .
