Other key details include a 1,875 cubic centimeter print volume, minimum layer height of 50 microns, Windows and Mac compatiblity, USB port and SD card reader and last but not least, a ‘transformer’ head design which allows the 3D printing head to be swopped for a laser engraver head. In addition to accepting multiple types of filament (PLA, polycarbonate, wood, and even aluminum), it also boasts fast printing speeds of up to 150mm per sec without creating a tremor that will wipe everything off the working desk. It works on a single-axis slider and promised robust internal components that once set up, requires zero recalibration. This high-end aluminum and steel 3D printer boasts simplicity in design with minimal components, thus allowing set up to be done in around 30 minutes. Trinus is touted as the world’s first professional-grade 3D printer made from all metal parts that cost just $299. The team wants affordability to be part of a professional-grade 3D printer and so they set out and developed Trinus. But Kodama, a San Francisco-based startup, wants change that. Myself have shopped around a bit and it seems to me that a ‘decent’ pro-grade 3D printer cost at least a grand. However, if you are looking to do serious prototyping and fabrication, or simply want less post-print work done, then pro-grade 3D printer is the only way to go but that’s when you will get a rude shock from the pricing. The 3D printer market is filling up quickly, with most devices promising affordability which we obviously have nothing to complain about.
