XFab 3D laser printer can print soft materials. Jan.10, 2014 Italian based DWS Lab introduces its XFab laser 3D printer at this year's CES International. Instead of the popular Fused deposition modeling (FDM), DWS Lab uses the Laser Stereolithography process. Its patented technology is capable of turning a much wider variety of materials into solid objects: acrylate resin, ABS, polypropylene, rigid opaque, transparent, ceramic and even rubber.
The system includes proprietary 3D editing software NAUTA XFAB Edition and it features high resolution printing, automatic support genaration and instant support removal. XFab uses intelligent cartridge system for quick material change, so there will be no leakages, no need of handling liquids, no tray consumption cost. The cartridge will retail for between $200 and $400. Specifications: DWS Lab will launch the XFab 3D laser printer in the spring and the price is around $5,000. New OWL NANO desktop SL 3D printer achieves 100 Nanometer resolution, says its creators. Pegasus Touch Laser SLA 3D Printer: Low cost, High Quality by Full Spectrum Laser. Touchscreen LCD desktop 3D printer starting <$2k using LASER based tech for high speed prints, 7"x7"x9" build area, and detail. As designers and engineers, we have found lasers and 3D printers to be amazing tools.
Naturally, we wanted to combine the two and build a 3D Printer with lasers! Thanks to the wide adpotion of Bluray players, low cost near UV laser diodes which can cure liquid resin are now readily available making high quality 3D printers a reality. Using software/electronics technology developed for our laser cutting/engraving products, we’ve perfected an affordable high quality laser based Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printer that sets a new standard for desktop 3D printing for every maker and maker to be. Starting below $2000 on Kickstarter, Pegasus Touch produces by far the best quality 3D printing output for its price. Come visit us at CES 2014 in Las Vegas Booth #32027 Jan 7-10, 2014 and see the printer first hand! Quick Specs:
