Today from the floor of Euromold 2013 3D Systems announced five new 3D printers. We’re most excited about the desktop-ready ProJet 1200 Micro-SLA Professional 3D Printer. Retailing at $4,900, it is a bit more expensive than the Form 1 ($3,299) or B9 Creator ($3,375), but the ProJet 1200 features a new, one-step process that uses an all-in-one cartridge and curing cell, with all post processing done inside the printer.
3D printing giant 3D Systems announced today that it has acquired The Sugar Lab, a startup “micro-design firm” based in Los Angeles, California, dedicated to 3D printing customized, multi-dimensional, edible confections in real sugar.
Nick Normal and I attended the first Inside 3D Printing Conference & Expo recently. Here’s a collection of our pictures and recollections.
A lot has happened in the world of 3D printing over the last week and the start of CES brought on a wave of new products, as it always does. 3D Systems announced two new printers in their Cubify lineup, and MakerBot made an official announcement regarding the release of their “experimental” dual extrusion printer, the Replicator 2X.
In the wake 3D Systems’ patent infringement suit against Kickstarter and Formlabs, celebrated 3D printing artist Joshua Harker has removed 3D Systems from his Kickstarter campaign.
3D Systems, makers of the Cube, a $1,299 hobbyist-level 3D printer, along with considerably more expensive industrial-level 3D printers, has filed what may be the first patent lawsuit in the hobbyist 3D printer market.
