IVI 3D printer liquid resin surface Īlso note that this SLA system is a top-down design. Oh, it’s a resin tank! This device, which we already know has a hotend for 3D printing filament, also has a laser specifically for SLA 3D printing! This toolhead seems to be different from the laser used for 3D scanning. What is going on here? There seems to be a small toolhead and a large container within the build volume. On the other hand, if it’s an angled “camera”, then it could be using photogrammetry to perform the 3D scan. I would be very surprised if this 3D scan succeeded. The key is made of a somewhat shiny material, and that situation invariably causes difficulties when 3D scanning because the shiny metal reflects the laser beam in confusing ways. However, there’s something troubling here. Here we see it apparently 3D scanning a key. What’s this? A camera? Maybe it is a laser? Laser scanning a key? Some type of optical system on the IVI 3D printer Oh wait, now they’re putting in what looks like a 3D printer hot end for filament printing. A conventional filament hot end toolhead In this image what seems to be a milling head is being installed. It looks like it is magnetically attached. Swappable magnetically-attached toolheads Īha, the delta toolhead seems to be removable. Now it’s clear that the device has a delta-style design, which is highly mature in the industry and offers typically higher print speeds and larger build volumes. This could be a way for the company to get feedback on print reliability by simply asking the 3D printer operator to tell them. Note that their are two buttons on this panel, one saying “not acceptable” and the other “good”. Touchscreen on the IVI 3D printer įirst we see what it appears to be a rather nice full-color touchscreen interface. Let’s go through some key sections of this video to see what we can figure out about this machine: However, their rather skimpy website does include a relatively long video purportedly showing the features of the device. Perhaps this machine has an unusual design that somehow allows for these advanced features to be included at very low cost? Unfortunately the folks behind the IVI 3D printer have not provided many specifications aside from these:īuild volume of 210mm diameter x 220mm tall During their upcoming Kickstarter launch, the price is said to be only US$299! How could it possibly be available on a printer that is being sold for only US$799? It is usually found exclusively on higher-end equipment, and even then at a premium cost.
Ok, but could this be true? Closed-loop technology is a means of providing extreme reliability and quality. “A high resolution, modular, closed-loop 3D printer, for only $799.”
