3D PrintShow London 2014

On the XT regard, I saw a print they made on the Ultimaker 2 that bridged a gab of (I have to guess) 10/12 cm without any difficulties.

I just remembered I also took a picture of the bridge-print!

Sander well except for the big brand name there was little difference between your stand and the others. They basically all had UM²s and printed stuff. My wife and I said to each other that you have to look at the posters because the material is alike almost everywhere

As I said: I don't have a clue how you would distinguish yourself being a printer fabricator instead of for example a "shapeways clone" (if i can be so disrespectful), but it didn't really stand out to me. Perhaps it's just me having unrealistic expectations, dunno. I guess I came there expecting to be bedazzled by my favorite brand

I've just put a big stack of mostly unsorted pictures in the gallery....

The thing I found interesting was the student (material science?) who worked on finding binding materials to print very strong with soil, wants it to get stronger than reinforced contrete.

 

In the "I want one" category I liked the fuel3D scanner, here's the discount code if you want one...

 

the quality of a printed dress looks a lot different in close up ...

 

These guys where claiming the main limiting factor for printspeed on an UM was the electronics..... ther board would speed things up a lot

Doubtfull if it does. They power their cardrige with 12 volt, so they probably power their motors with the same voltage. Increasing the voltage is the only thing that would speed it up.

Good afternoon everybody. After discussing the 3d Printshow with Sander I thought it would be a good idea to get on the forums and ask for some constructive feedback about how we can improve the representation at these large events. Our new team members really enjoyed interacting with the community and learnt a lot so thanks if you came and said hi!

After visiting the Printshow the 3Dprinting virus hit me again.

I was impressed what, after not watching 3D printing for nearly 1 year, is possible today.

I was impressed of the stuff you have printed on your machine. I am considering buying one when I have saved some money.

My two main reasons for this are

 

1. The fantastic prints and running printers on your stand
   
2. All the UM² machines on the stands of other participants of the print show. There must be a reason that they use the UM².
