XYZPrinting , one of the most recognized international companies related to the world of 3D printing, has just announced that they have a new machine ready to launch on the market, a model that, once it reaches the market, will be available to all interested customers at a very competitive price, especially within the sector in which it is included, such as the 3.599 euros that the company will ask for each unit sold.
The idea, as communicated in the latest statements made by none other than Fernando Hernández, General Manager of XYZPrinting for Europe, is that the machine could be available by the end of November of this same year, 2017 , a model that will stand out for being able to combine the inkjet printing of the " normal " printers that we all know with the 3D technology so characteristic of all the company's models.
XYZPrinting will launch a new 3D printer at the end of November with which you can customize the color of any object printed on plastic
Going into a bit more detail, as has been revealed, this new 3D printer model created by XYZPrinting will be able to customize any type of job in any color , regardless of the color of the plastic used to manufacture the object. To achieve this, the printer will work like other models, but thanks to the use of an extra print head , color will be injected into each layer deposited.
According to Fernando Hernández himself during his last interview:
It has been very complicated, since the filament absorbs the ink poorly, but we have found a solution that eliminates this problem. We use a special PLA-based filament (a non-toxic thermoplastic). A material whose formula is proprietary, like the ink used by the machine.
