3D Printer MakerBot 'soul' visitors CeBIT

3D Printer MakerBot (USA) has attracted a large number of visitors at the CeBIT (Germany) with its unique 3D print technology, eWeek technology news site (USA). ) reported on 9/3.

Visitors at CeBIT were totally fascinated by the 3D MakerBot 2 printer, stunned by the machine's ability to release a host of PLA objects, a heavy, durable material common to all types of machines. in 3D.

MakerBot Replicator 2 can create objects formatted using graphics software such as AutoCad.

It is known that the next generation of 3D printer MakerBot can create objects larger than the product created from the previous printer model.

The objects are made of PLA bioplastic, which is a very solid material, hard to break.

Even though the main purpose of 3D printers is to make models of products or works for their later production, the models are very sturdy.

At the CeBIT show, MakerBot demonstrated the robustness of the object created by the 3D printer by trying to break a fairly thin chain 'in' from MakerBot Replicator 2, but the chain was unaffected.

MakerBot's 3D printer works as a dot matrix printer, with the print head moving continuously on a flat surface to create layers of 100 microns / layer (1 micron = 0.0001cm).

MakerBot said it would release a 3D scanner, which would allow users to scan an object and then use MakerBot's 3D printer to 'print' the object.
