The new 3D printer, the Ira3D Poetry2, is available with both a single (€1749) and double (€1849) versions, and has a 250 x 250 x 300 mm build envelope. The exotic filament types launched include: H-Limofy®, Gummify®, IRA-Wood®, IRA-Copper®, IRA-CarbonF®, IRA-Bronze®, IRA-Brick®, Crystal®, and ABSuper®.

It's just a rebranded Creatbot

certainly looks that way.

Is this an 'italian' company in the same way that geetech is a 'german' company ?

>Is this an 'italian' company in the same way that geetech is a 'german' company ?

No, Geetech was just flat out pretending to be German. In this case this is another Western company just selling an OEM Chinese printer as their own development. The owner of Creatbot is a very nice Shanghaiese fellow with a top notch product who would not stoop to this sort of nonsense IMHO.

Unfortunately Chinese printers keep getting better, and the Western market is still very attached to the idea of low cost/high quality homegrown printers so I think we will just keep seeing more of this. I think Dremel really did the right thing with Flashforge in terms of tuning a solid product to market demands and still adding real value to it. Chinese make great hardware but they are just not up to the level of support and documentation a good 3D printer should come with.
