Seems like we may be back in the swing of things in terms of new 3D printers launching almost daily. A New printer called the 3D Pandoras has launched a Kickstarter campaign, and it certainly looks interesting. The new printer uses a powder, a binding agent, and curing agent to print in full color. The machine stands a staggering 5.5 feet tall, and weighs over 150 pounds. Incredibly they are offering the first 30 backers this machine at just $3000. Is this economically feasible? More details on how the printer works can be found here: http://3dprint.com/14838/3d-pandoras-kickstarter

Below are some basic specs for the 3D Pandoras printer:
  • Build Envelope: 300 x 292 x 140mm
  • Print Resolution: 9600 x 2400dpi
  • Prototyping: 10mm / hr
  • Printer Size: 100 x 80 x 170cm
  • Printer Weight: 70kg (154 lbs)
