14 DAY TRIAL // Very often, when a new product is developed, it needs people to learn how to use it, sometimes to go through training. 3D printing wasn't so bad from this regard, but it still relies on some measure of familiarity with virtual design programs. Not so for the Amaker 3D printer though.
Having just been posted on crowd-funding website Kickstarter, the Amaker 3D Printer can print out of multiple colors at once (the user has to switch filament colors while the process is going on).
That's just one of the things that set it apart from other of its kind though. Another is the full-color LCD touchscreen, while the ARM processor (32-bit) is also unusual for this sort of device.
The screen should allow everyone from beginners to professionals to easily use the product. That's what Amaker3D hopes anyway.
The company even went out of its way to design its own controller board (not based on Arduino). There are actually two ARM processors in it. Not a dual-core ARM CPU but two ARM processors. According to the company, the chips are kept busy by a specially coded 3D printing "smart algorithm."
The Amaker 3D printer can create items with a resolution of 20 microns per layer, which is very good (most go with 100 and sometimes 50, the smaller the better). That means the detail will be higher than on many other consumer 3D printers out there.
So if you have AUD$2,149 / USD $1,995 / €1,441, you can make a pledge right now and reserve one of the first ones in September. There were five cheaper ones available, but they're gone now.
