Here's a complete ‘made in India' 3D printer!

-

3D printing is rapidly becoming popular all over the world, chiefly among DIYers, researcher­s and hobby engineers. Well, how could India be left behind? Mumbai's very own Divide By Zero Technologi­es has come out with the Accucraft S150, which is a totally ‘made in India' 3D printer. With this device, the company wants to take the Indian market, which is still relatively at a nascent stage in terms of the technology, by storm.

The printer ships in the form of a steel box in a sturdy design that can cater to a variety of 3D printing needs. Consuming 700 watts of power and an input of 100-230V AC, the printer is capable of a printing volume measuring 16 cm³. The

developers claim the Accucraft S150 delivers position precision of 10 microns and can print at 300 mm/sec.

The printer is fast and precise, and prints at the click of a button. It can print bigger objects in parts. All that is needed is a design in the specified format, and the Accucraft S150 prints the entire object in parts, which can then be assembled using plastic welding or engineerin­g grade adhesives. The build platform itself can be removed, which makes taking out the printed objects easy.
