Factory 2.0 printer Designed to produce manufacturing tools and medical prosthetics, Omni3D's new Factory 2.0 additive printer can use a broad range of composites. It has a print area of almost 20 inches along each axis, a closed heat chamber and fully automated table leveling. Users can control the process with original software developed by the company; a 7-inch display screen is included.
What's new? The printer, which was the result of two years of development.
Benefits Rugged design, precision and competitive cost of print jobs. The printer is made up of fixed components, rather than flexible ones, so it will last longer, Omni3D says. For example, unlike some 3-D printers, it has no rubber hoses that can stretch and wear out. Using 10 microprocessors, the Factory 2.0 is designed to achieve highly precise results, with accuracy to within about 0.001 inches. It is intended to complete print jobs with as low a cost per part as possible. According to the company, manufacturers estimate that the cost of using the printer per hour will be around 15 cents; material would be about $14 per pound.
