3D Printing

TCT展览 - 打印机,细丝,备件和社区

商人忙于交谈和交换卡,不间断的机器,尝试新产品的客户 - 这是您在TCT Show这样的活动中看到的。对我来说,我对蓬勃发展的市场以及“明天的技术”的正下方的内容特别好奇。

3D Printers could be the “main force” in the 3D printing industry. After visiting several booths of 3D printer manufacturer, I found that companies have been upgrading their 3D printers like cellphones.

Felixas an example. The Netherlands-based company launched their Felix Pro 1, the desktop 3D Printer last year, feathered with automatic levelling, smart sensors and a detachable print bed.

昨天,他们带来了最新版本的Felix Pro系列The Felix Pro2。他们告诉我,新的3D打印机主要在两个方面进行改进:云控制系统和触摸屏。这意味着客户将能够从浏览器切片和控制3D打印机。他们还可以使用带有直观界面的触摸屏,并在打印农场模式下使用多个3D打印机。雷电竞app下载

One good thing about Felix series is that those who bought the Pro 1 actually could upgrade their Pro 1 without buying the Pro 2 – the company provides the upgrading service for their old customers.

Multi-nozzles and materials has become a trend for many desktop 3D Printers.

这是原始的Prusa I3 Mk2 3D打印机普鲁萨。作为一个fully assembled printer, users could DIY with the multi material upgrade kit provided by Prusa. Obviously the printer we see in the picture is assembled with four nozzles. The use of up to 4 material feeders with one hotend makes the solution calibration free and easier to use than currently available systems.

什么是worth mentioning is that all parts of this 3D printer are Open Source and are part of the转载项目,我们将在本文稍后讨论。

这是来自巴塞罗那的BCN3D SigmaBCN3D。It is characterized by its IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder), which also allows support structures, multimaterial and multicolor prints.

Filaments

The most colorful booths in the Show, from my view, is definitely those who sell filaments.

细丝通常在线轴上出售,并带有不同的颜色。不过,一开始看起来像样,他们倾向于最终扭曲和浪费。什么是Filafab吸引我的是,他们创建了这台机器来利用浪费的细丝或重新制作细丝。这减少了顾客的碳足迹印刷品,并且对环境很友好。我个人会支持这样的任何作品。此外,客户可以购买Filafab提供的PLA颗粒并为自己制作灯丝。

Filaments are becoming more flexible, durable, safe and envrionmentally-friendly – this is how I felt after talking with several filament manufacturers.

MyMatis a Spanish filament provider. They brought their four latest filaments to the Show. One of the filaments is called Foodie. You may know the feature of this filament from its name. Foodie is a food grade flexible filament for food industry professionals, hostelry and foodies. You could put containers made from this filament to an 130℃ oven. But remember, never a microwave! ( This is how they warn me).

其他三种材料是:

  • HiPro_PLA: high properties PLA.
  • C4U: means care for you (lol). The safety grade flexible filament for kids and human wellness sectors and applications.
  • Kimi: The chemical resistance flexible filament that stands basic, alkaline, antifreeze and alcohol solutions and liquids.

Printer Parts

Fairly speaking,E3D在线is the most versatile manufacturer of printer parts that I encountered in the Show. I’m impressed by their professional and passinate explanation of all the parts they create.

基本上,它们创建了组装3D打印机所需的几乎所有内容。这些被传达到电子零件和机械零件中。电子零件包括板,电缆和绝缘材料,组件,风扇,电动机,电源供应商和机械零件包括鲍登,固定件,固定件和结构零件,运动,印刷表面。

They also produce extruders and filaments of their own.

这些是他们在节目中显示的一些备件的图片。

Community

我无法给出一些关于将来3D青春期行业如何发展的答案。但是我敢肯定,共享平台对我们每个人都将变得越来越重要。多亏了那些愿意分享的人,新手可以访问资源,以开始在3D印刷界的旅程。

重演世界is a webshop as well as a community that put together the things one may need in their 3D printing learning or business.

巴特·梅耶尔,技术经理告诉我l the products in RepRap World come with open sources, which means customers could revise the products according to their own needs. They have set up collaborations with some companies like Prusa, the one we mentioned before.
