![]() As might be guessed, the ChefJet is meant for gastronomical experimentation, while the CubeJet is a full-color desktop material jetting system. “The CubePro is the ultimate desktop 3D printer for the lab, workshop and office, compressing development cycles and increasing productivity.”ģD Systems also teased two more 3D printers: the ChefJet and CubeJet. ![]() “We are proud to be the first to deliver professional quality prints to the consumer and prosumer, enabling educators, entrepreneurs and tech enthusiasts to match their creativity with greater productivity,” said Rajeev Kulkharni, VP, GM, consumer products, 3DS. Print speed tops out at 15mm 3 (0.5625 in.)/second, and customers have the option of printing in either PLA or ABS. Like the Cube 3, multiple heads are meant to allow for multiple color choices. Layer thickness begins at 75µ for a single head, goes to 200µ with twin heads, and 300µ with three heads. This holds true for the CubePro with the build envelop shrinking down to 7.33 x 10.75 x 9.5 in. The downside to multiple extruder heads is a reduction in build envelope. (273 x 273 x 241 mm) with the option of up to three extruder heads. It offers a professional build envelope of 10.75 x 10.75 x 9.5 in. The CubePro is a much different animal than its purely hobbyist brother. “For the first time it’s affordable and simple to print what you use and wear, print for your home and for those you love, all with over 20 colors in synchronous multi-materials and color combinations, in three dimensions.” ![]() “Cube 3 makes home 3D printing real and easy,” said Cathy Lewis, chief marketing officer, 3DS. The new system also features dual extruder heads which, according to the company, allow users to mix and match with over 20 different colors. It is capable of printing with both PLA and ABS plastic to a layer thickness of 75µ. (15.25 x 15.25 x 15.25 cm), and is even more futuristic and shiny looking. Not quite the same as full-color 3D printing, but most of those technologies are experimental right now anyway.Ī color touchscreen display and Wi-Fi capability allows you to easily print whatever you want, whether from a computer, mobile device, or, again, a USB flash drive.īelow you can see a short image gallery of the printer as it appeared at IFA 2014, although the glossy finish of the outer case worked against it somewhat (it's a closed-chamber style, unlike the Cube, which we also took a few shots of).The new Cube has a slightly larger build envelope than the original at 6 x 6 x 6 in. All the while keeping layer thickness at 70 microns. You see, it allows you to create objects with up to 24 colors and 3 different materials (ABS, PLA, and Nylon). The triple-extruder system is the most important part, however. If it's quality you want, though, 3D Systems, through its Cubify brand, has created a much larger printer with three print heads.Ĭalled CubePro Trio, it has a price of £3,440 / €4,300 / $5,100 (although exchange rates are usually misleading in this) and a build volume of 200.4 x 270.4 x 230 mm / 7.88 x 10.64 x 9.05 inches, which is the largest for this class of printers. The Cube sounds like a great high-end consumer printer, but it still has to make some concessions in order to maintain a relatively accessible price point. The CubePro Trio is leagues beyond the Cube And with dual jets, you can even combine two colors if you want. There's enough material in each cartridge to print 13 to 14 mid-sized objects through Plastic Jet Printing (PJP). Good for when you make a model at work or at home, but the printer you have access to is somewhere else, not connected to the computer through the network.īoth ABS and PLA plastics are supported, at a thickness of 200 microns (for speed) or 70 microns (for detail). Moreover, you can copy print files from your PC to a USB sick and connect the flash drive directly to the printer, to print right off it. You only need the Cubify app (for Mac OS X and Windows, freely supplied with the printer itself) to initiate a print process. Altogether it measures 13.3 x 13.3 x 11 inches / 335 x 338 x 280 mm, but its build volume is of 6 x 6 x 6 inches / 152.5 x 152.5 x 152.5 mm. The 3D Systems Cube is basically a compact consumer printer with a price of around $1,099 / €1,099. ![]() Specifically, it brought out both its small and its biggest printer for the consumer FDM class. While XYZPrinting seemed happy looking at the mid-range and low-end 3D printer market, 3D Systems decided to focus more on quality at the IFA 2014 event.
