The one aspect everyone, since the beginning of time, has wanted to tweak on any give mechanical or electronic system has never changed: speed. The reason is simple, since time is fixed and there is no way to buy more, the only thing we can do is increase speed so we can do more things in the same given time.
Since 3D printers are both mechanical and electronic, speed is doubly important. The solution introduced by Central Italy based Dynamo 3D (D3D), for its new ONE-EVO system, is a giant leap forward in extrusion based 3D printing speeds, shooting from a current industry average of 100 (max 200) mm/s to a whopping 400 mm/s, with untested capabilities rumoured to go up to 500 mm/s. This is actual printing speed and not moving speed (that goes up to 700 mm/s)
The technology that makes this speed possible was developed by Danish based Create it REAL, which provided a special board through its experience in the field of electronics for 3D printing systems. The ONE-EVO will not only be faster than its predecessor ONE and all other desktop FDM/FFF 3D printers currently on the market, it will also introduce a number of new features. Among these the most significant may be the Remote Diagnostic Systems.
Through this feature a chip records everything that happens on the system’s motherboard and, in case of complications or malfunctions, it makes it possibie to send an automatic full report to D3D’s technical support.
“With the ONE-EVO we worked to significantly improve printing speed, an aspect that often represents an obstacle for someone interested in purchasing a 3D printer,” says Dynamo 3D’s president Daniele Puca. “We worked with Create it REAL and results have been excellent. The D3D ONE-EVO is up to four times faster than any other model currently on the market”.
Unlike purely electronic speed upgrades, which sometimes can barely be perceived and are visible only in terms of multitasking performances, mechanical speed tweaks are apparent too. The ONE-EVO was on display at Dynamo 3D’s London 3D Pritntshow booth and its speed was impressive. Small objects, that would usually take one hour or more could be finished in a matter of 10-20 minutes. While most of the other features on the ONE-EVO are standard (including print volume, which currently stands at 240x240x240 mm), speed alone might be a good enough reason to invest the 1.900 euro it costs to take one home.
