As the desktop 3D printing market in Europe and North America slightly wavers between success and failure, the companies conquering this emerging technology in Asia have painted a clear picture: 3D printing is their future. This particularly rings true in China, where the 3D printing market that has doubled year-by-year, and is projected to reach $1.5 billion this year. Companies like Raise3D, Wanhao, and CTC Electronic are following in the triumphant footsteps of the Taiwanese-based XYZprinting, a global desktop 3D printing leader with an extensive line of products.
In addition, the Di3 PLUS build surface will include a heated bed plate and a Wanhao Adhesive Sheet. According to Wanhao USA, the printer has a layer capability of 100 microns, and is compatible with a wide range of materials, from standard PLA and ABS to specialized filaments like NinjaFlex, carbon fiber blends, conductive, and many others. Those who purchase the Di3 PLUS through Wanhao USA will receive a one-year free parts replacement warranty, free in-shop service, and either 10 feet of standard PLA filament or two 1kg spools of black PLA filament.
On the software side of things, the Duplicator i3 PLUS is compatible with almost any 3D printing software on the market. Whether it’s the specialized CURA “Wanhao Edition” or any other type of software, the Di3 PLUS was engineered to accept them all. Working with the most widely used file types, the Di3 PLUS is compatible with a multitude of software platforms, including Microsoft Visual Studio, CADRazor, Thingiverse, Sketchup, Blender, FreeCAD, Autodesk, and Solidworks.
According to Wanhao USA, their new printer is already in extremely high demand, but will not start shipping until July 11. The Duplicator i3 PLUS seems like the ideal 3D printer for the beginner or hobbyist, or those just looking to cultivate their inner maker without having to make a costly investment.
