Yesterday, after HP press conference we reported on the preparation of the first 3D-printer in the industrial design. We can start with the modular design of the printhead. The width of the base member is 4.25 inches (10.79 cm). A set of ten heads, for example, will create a device with the width of the working area 40 inches (1 m). HP retains the ability to produce 3D-printers in a wide range of prices and to create models of different sizes.
HP printer printing unit consists of two alternately moving carriages. One of them passes through the work zone from left to right, the second - from the top down. "Horizontal" carriage - is composing the head of an inkjet printer that uses thermal printing method, only the working ingredient is not black, and special liquid chemicals. These reagents may be any that will create models of HP in a wide range of materials. While the company uses plastic and a simple color scheme. In the future, promise to appear reagents, paint a model in millions of colors, as the ability to work with a metal or ceramic. Such technologies create volumetric models no one else.
The second carriage printer - "vertical" will contain the original material hopper future model in the form of tiny powder.
Also, due to the use of liquid reagents models on the HP printer is two times higher than at competing companies and devices is 1200 voxels per inch (voxel - volumetric pixel). Again emphasize the uniqueness of HP technology : method enables us to print each voxel as a unique composition of the material . Related Products :
