German company RepRap’s X150 3D Printer been awarded the BEST OF Industry Prize for 2016.
A number of companies submitted their entries for the award for high-tech industrial products. The X150 was deemed to be the best entry and will carry the awards slogan ‘With Progress for Success’ for the year ahead.
Based on the NEO, which has been a huge commercial success, the X150 boasts a raft of new features to boost its precision and reliability. That has further cemented RepRap’s reputation with the manufacturing community and this commercial grade printer is now essential equipment for companies and high-end makers around the world.
Florian Bautz, CEO of German RepRap GmbH, said: “An innovative industrial solution converts the latest in technological and scientific discoveries into new products. This results in long-term quality improvements that save resources, increase efficiency and win customer acceptance. Our X150 3D printer is built from high quality components that are specially designed to meet industrial requirements and are thus fully capable of doing this.”
The X150 isn’t the biggest, but it is good
150x150x150mm的印刷床量意味着它有限，该公司为需要它们的公司提供了更大的打印机。但是出于原型目的，X150的速度和准确性是很大的优点。金属外壳排除了弯曲和无游戏的驱动器和轴以及尖端挤出机技术，有助于创建干净的印刷品。在商业世界中，这很重要，并且赢得了粉丝的重演军团。
X150也提供了许多可选的附加功能，包括可以容纳基于远程网络摄像头的监视系统的集成照明支持。
Resin is its calling card
PLA和PETG是X150的主食，它与完全开源的Reprap软件和谐相处。使软件打开是一种主中风，因为它使制造商和黑客社区聚集在一起，以改进并根据特定要求量身定制软件。
This sense of community can be the difference between a huge hit and a flop, so we’re fully behind RepRap’s approach to open source. You can see it in its early designs, this is a company that has grown out of a hacker’s mind.
The company that is based in Feldkirchen near Munich and focuses on Fused Filament Fabrication printers, together with the requisite accessories. It has become a major part of the 3D printing community since it was founded in 2010 as the German RepRap Foundation and it now works with major industrial, automotive, aerospace and medical companies to help drive 3D printing forward.
