3D print show in Paris first-hand

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

The show was filled mostly with amateur-level printers.

A separate room with the work of designers.

I wanted to meet Richard Horne ( RichRap ), but he did not come from London. But he held on to the handle with Brook Drumm (creator of printrbot.com )

He finally got to Europe. I was not tired of accepting those who wanted to become distributors of his printer. He said that the demand for his printers is simply gigantic. Deliveries double every month. Still would! There are simply no competitors in this price category. If suddenly someone wants to do printer distribution, then all the conditions are described on the site - 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. Will go into production soon. The truth is in a modified form. The extruder will be metal, and not like in the picture, plywood. And the motors are rotated 90 degrees so that you can put more than two in a row. Electronics supports up to 3 extruders, so double and triple models will be on sale. In addition, Brooke said that they were experimenting with painting the bar in the printing process. Those. printing is a colorless or white bar, and at the last stage, colored ink is mixed.

Cartesio is a device from Austria.

I have been following the project for a long time, which is still under development. The first prints were presented only in October. The pluses are a solid rigid frame, which can not only carry a double-triple extruder, but also a tool for machining. In the photo there is just an apparatus with a tool like a dremel.

You put your head in the booth, an instant 3D snapshot is taken and a souvenir is printed.

Also during the exhibition was a traditional Paris podium show.

I’m sorry, the video is hard to make out 3D printed accessories and clothing details.
