Compact 3D printer fits in a small case

Somehow, the times when 3D printers cost like a small spaceship are quickly forgotten. At the same time, such printers were not very functional, and their work left much to be desired. Now, the quality of printers of this class is at a height, and their price is not so high. On Habré already appeared information about the 3D printer costing something around $ 1,000. But among all modern printers of volume printing there were no small devices. The other day such a device was presented, it is so small that it fits in a small suitcase.

And not in a huge suitcase, but in something, equal in size to a “diplomat”. Created such a printer specialists from Massachusetts University of Technology. The project itself was named Personal Fabricator, and work on the project began several years ago. In addition to volumetric printing, the device can also perform the role of a plotter for vinyl (vinyl cutter - correct, please, if not translated so), plus a programmable drawing machine.

This wagon to a very limited extent. Now it is not a concept, but a working device, which, unfortunately, has not yet gone on sale. However, all this may soon appear on the market. So far it is worth assessing the operation of the device by viewing the video.
