Airwolf 3D Unveils New HD-R 3D Printer, Announces Deal with 3DaGoGo

This is going to be a busy week within the 3D printing space. Several companies are announcing new printers and materials, and showing off all sorts of cool 3D printed gadgets at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas. One of these companies is Costa Mesa-based Airwolf 3D, which has been on a roll as of late. 2014 was a solid year for the company, as they rolled out new 3D printers, took part in a record breaking 3D print-a-thon to help Robohand produce 3D printed prosthetic hands for those in need, and launched their new Wolfbite heatbed adhesive.

Today, at CES, the company is unveiling their latest 3D Printer called the HD-R. The HD-R packs a powerful punch, and is aimed at the upper to mid-range consumer markets with a suggested retail price of $4,595. Besides its high resolution dual extruders with new and improved JR2x hotends, what makes the HD-R so unique is its ability to print via the cloud using an 8″ tablet which comes with the printer. Relying on the AstroPrint cloud platform, users are able to take advantage of cloud-based slicing, file storage, and management.

“The HD-R keeps Airwolf 3D at the forefront of the industry,” said Erick Wolf, founder and chairman of Airwolf 3D. “We’ve successfully combined superior print quality using a wide range of materials with unparalleled ease-of-use to create our most advanced product to date.”
