The new delta 3D printer released by Pollen, which is named Pam, isn’t quite engineered for the consumer market. Instead, the fresh-faced 3D printing company is targeting their ‘luxury’ 3D printer towards the professional crowd, aimed at businesses looking to produce functional products in a multitude of materials. Pam is capable of printing with up to four different materials during a single process, mixing two materials together on the go, and is also compatible with a wide range of materials, including natural fibers, carbon, minerals or metal particles.
The 3D printer is loaded with bottles filled with pellets of raw materials that include thermoplastics, silicones, composites, and other types, all of which are engineered with industrial-grade quality. The max temperature the printer can reach is 350°C, making it compatible with a number of materials with flexible, strengthened, elastic, transparent, and colorful properties.
According to Pollen, the Pam 3D printer is able to reach a high quality resolution of up to 40 μ, and has a relatively large print volume of 30 x 30 cm. Pam is also quite the speedster, printing with multiple materials at speeds of up to 400 mm/s. It’s also Wi-Fi and Ethernet enabled, allowing users to control the printer through their web browser. In addition, the printer’s software stack is engineered within the 3D printer, enabling users to print without the need of a computer. The printer is by no means built for the consumer market, rather, Pollen is taking aim at companies and entrepreneurs looking to take their 3D printing capabilities to the next level.
Included with the limited edition offer, customers will also learn how to master Pam with the Quick Start pack, which will teach users how to use Honeyprint, controlling and utilizing the many features of Pam, and ensuring optimal maintenance of the printer as well. Pollen plans to start shipping out their unique delta-styled 3D printer in April 2017, giving them an adequate amount of time to build more hype for what could soon be a major game-changer in the professional 3D printing market.
