“3D printing, now in living color!” at $ 200.000.00 its living the high life
Heh, they’re not the first full color, just the first full color multi-material (and even that’s debatable, since the RepRap folks are already doing it)
@jinx_OI try $330,000
falls too the floor!!!
@jinx_OI lol, Stratasys doesn’t make things for home and small business… they’re the Ferrari of their world, catering to industry. They can dump large amounts into research and churn out high quality and robust products. And they get priced accordingly.
But that tech will trickle down to the mainstream consumer market, as it always does.
do you think they throw a couple spools in with the price… just know the likes of walmart and staples gonna have it, just no kid could afford a print from it!
Haha, I think it’s resin based rather than filament (based on the design of the print head). And usually at that level of purchase, you don’t get the first set of supplies free like with mass consumer products 
Hrm, no it might be filaments judging by the description… weird, heh… but without black, white and transparent filaments in addition to the CMY they describe, the color range is limited.
they claiming jetting tech, but we know there got 3 jheads under the hood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglwisdGMH8
in Objet500 Connex3 Launch at SolidWorks World 2014 there say resin in the last vid they mention abs and filament https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAOHa7ToJoE&feature=c4-overview&list=UUs-dCDmiBi3OPeW-murdlgA
@Daniel_ShadowDrakken Can you provide a link to support that statement about RepRap full color printing?
@Print_Industry_Netwo mainly in reference o the latest 3 color blending nozzles that don’t present the color directionally but are fully blended, and to the “sand”+binder+ink based printers.
@Daniel_ShadowDrakken I found experimental work in progress - mostly toward proof of concept. No working model yet.
True, it’s not readily available yet, but it has been done, so it still puts into question what was “first”.
So you would say full color will NOT be locked up by patent protection?
Who knows at this point… some of it comes down to technique. Also I think consumers are getting sick of patent bullshit and it won’t be long till they just start making stuff themselves and giving the patent office the finger.
Objet500 ain’t a FULL colour printer its close enough but at any one time its a set range off colours. how I understand it.
Yea, bad headline. ZCorp has been doing full color 3d prints since at least 2004. Lead with multi material, not “now in color!”
@Danny_Thorpe Oh, I just checked out the Z Corp website. Call me cynical, but it seems money & PR can bend the truth!
