Finnish 3D printer manufacturer miniFactory is introducing the latest in its 3D printer line: the Innovator 2, which will begin shipping in December of this year. The Innovator 2 is a third-generation 3D printer that, like its predecessors, is a sturdy, reliable machine with a large build area. It’s a dual-extruder 3D printer that, according to miniFactory, resembles a machining center rather than a traditional 3D printer. It has industrial-level capabilities, allowing users to print with a range of engineering-grade materials including PEEK, thanks to an actively heated chamber with a special liquid cooling system. The Innovator 2 is easy to use, as well, with a large 7″ touchscreen, and it’s safe, with an enclosed chamber and activated carbon and HEPA filtering.
Users can be assured of dimensionally accurate and repeatable prints thanks to high-quality mechanics, as well as clean printing thanks to inactive extruder lift and nozzle cleaning functions in each extruder. Calibration is fully automatic for easy, reliable first layer adhesion.
Pricing has not been announced, but the cost of the original Innovator 3D printer is €7200. Currently, miniFactory is looking for new resellers; if you’re interested, you can contact the company here. During TCT Show, you can visit miniFactory at its booth, A43.
The second 3D printer Sharebot will be introducing is the Sharebot Q XXL, an FDM printer that, as its name suggests, has a large build area of 700 x 350 x 300 mm. Like the 3Delux, it falls into the category of professional 3D printers, and it’s designed to be used in every manufacturing workflow. The Q XXL, like its predecessor the Q, uses the Sharebox 3D system and can be controlled from any device, allowing the user remote access to any print jobs.
The TCT Show will be taking place from September 26 to 28.
