3D print show in Paris first hand

On November 15-16, a 3D print show took place in Paris (at the beginning of the month it was held in London). I went to look at this case and share my impressions. In the Netherlands, the format of a similar show has changed, the event was dragged out for several days and pulled up the price for the most I can not. You have to go to Paris.

The show was filled mostly with amateur printers.

Separate room with the work of designers.

He wanted to meet Richard Horne ( RichRap ), but he did not come from London. But held the handle with Brook Drumm (created by printrbot.com )

He finally got to Europe. Tired of accepting those who want to become distributors of his printer. He told that the demand for its printers is simply gigantic. Deliveries are doubled every month. Still would! There are no competitors in this price category. If suddenly someone wants to do distribution of printers, then all the conditions are written on the website - Interested in Becoming a Distributor? . The first batch must be prepaid 100%, volumes of interest - 50 or more.

The picture shows an experimental model with a double extruder. Soon will go into production. True in a modified form. The extruder will be metal, and not like plywood in the image. And the motors are rotated 90 degrees so that you can assemble more than two in a row. The electronics support up to 3 extruders, so double and triple models will be on sale. In addition, Brooke said that they are experimenting with the color of the rod in the printing process. Those. printing is colorless or white bar, and at the last stage colored ink is mixed.

Cartesio is a device from Austria.

It has long been following the project, which is still under development. The first prints were submitted only in October. In the pros - solid solid frame, which can not only carry a double-triple extruder, but also a tool for machining. In the photo just the device with the tool type Dremel.
