Fri, October 17, 2014A Review of 3D Systems’ New Cube Pro

Don’t let yourself be fooled by appearances, while 3D Systems’s new Cube Pro looks elegant and stylish like an iPhone, it is a tough machine built for rapid prototyping and engineering of small and medium size mechanical components. It is not just a fancy toy or something you just want to have fun with: it is a professional level 3D printer that allows you to print large PLA and ABS (and soon nylon as well) parts with ease, in up to three colours, with an extremely competitive price point. Don’t think of using it to 3D print bracelets or toys, though, for that you should probably go for a Cube 3.

Courtesy of 3DZ, Italy’s leading distributor of 3D Systems’ 3D printers and 3D scanners, I was sent a Cube Pro to test and review (and, unfortunately, return). I have to admit it was larger (and, at almost 40 Kg, definitely heavier) than I imagined, It came on a small size pallet, wrapped and boxed up with a number of accessories. It does, however, look like something straight out of the future. It is a radical departure from its predecessor, the CubeX, both in terms of appearance and also for the quality of its new components, which ensure that the Cube Pro can print (and pause) and print seamlessly, for hours upon hours without even so much as a glitch in its mechanical H-bot structure.

The only issue is the material cartridges. Pricing them above 70 euro for less than one Kg of PLA or ABS is the only way for 3D Systems to keep the price of a 285 x 270 x 230 mm build volume machine as low as

回顾3D系统“的新多维数据集临
不要让自己被表象所迷惑，而3D系统的新魔方专业外观高雅时尚如iPhone，这是一个艰难的机器内置的快速成型的中小型机械零件和工程。它不只是一个花哨的玩具或东西，你只是想有乐趣：它是一个专业级3D打印机，让您打印大型解放军和ABS（很快尼龙以及）部分自如，在多达三种颜色，与极具竞争力的价格。不要以为用它来打印3D手镯或玩具，但是，对于你应该去一个立方体3。

3DZ，意大利领先的3D Systems公司的3D打印机和3D扫描仪经销商的礼貌，我被送到一个魔方专业测试和审查（，不幸的是，返回）。我不得不承认，这是更大的（而且，几乎40公斤，肯定更重），比我想象的，它来了一个小尺寸的托盘，包裹和盒装了一些配件。它，然而，看上去就像是直出的未来。这是从它的前身，CUBEX，无论是在外观方面也为它的新的组成部分，它确保立方Pro可以打印（或暂停）的质量和打印无缝彻底背离，用于在小时小时，甚至没有这样尽可能在其机械H-BOT结构的毛刺。



唯一的问题是材料的墨盒。他们的定价在70欧元解放军不到一公斤的ABS是3D系统，只有这样才能保持尽可能低为285×270×230毫米构建卷机的价格
