XYZprinting, a Taiwanese 3D printer manufacturer, has introduced its latest desktop full-color system, the da Vinci Color 5D, at CES 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Although the provocative name may suggest a new additive manufacturing technology, the da Vinci Color 5D is an inkjet and FFF/FDM 3D printer, with laser engraving capabilities, said to represent the combination of “the 2D and 3D printing experience.” This is demonstrated as the 5D can create 3D models as well as print on paper with a new 2D printing module.
The da Vinci Color 5D
The da Vinci Color 5D follows the release of the da Vinci Color mini and the da Vinci “All in One (AiO)” desktop 3D scanner and FFF system. It is capable of applying CYMK ink to a color-absorbing PLA material with improved color saturation and for full-color prints. Moreover, the newly developed 2D printing module enables printing on paper, using the same CMYK ink cartridges.
A quick-release extruder is also integrated into the da Vinci Color 5D which facilitates the switch and upgrade to the hardened steel nozzles and laser engraver add-on. These nozzles are designed to withstand abrasive, composite materials such as carbon fiber and metallic PLA filaments. In addition, the laser engraver is compatible with materials including paper, cardboard, leather, wood, and plastic.
