On the growing 3D printer market, there are only a few machines that really stand out for their innovative design, satisfactory performance and versatility, and Genesis 3D Printer by the young Singapore-based company Blacksmith promises to join the list of high-ranking multipurpose 3D printing crowd. Combining a rotary 3D printer, 3D scanner and copier in one super-smart device, the recently unveiled Genesis is currently conducting a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, so if you’re looking for a versatile printer-come-scanner and copier, this one’s well-worth checking out.

So, besides its extraordinary all-in-one design, what else sets Genesis above the rest of the printing/scanning crowd out there? Well, for starters, Genesis features a revolutionary rotary print bed with the build plate rotating in a clockwise fashion, thus allowing the extruder to deposit filament with considerably higher efficiency and speed while claiming a smaller spatial footprint compared to regular Cartesian platform printers and delta robot printing platforms. On top of that, the Blacksmith engineering team decided to throw in an extra camera which monitors the 3D printing process and provides automatic error detection so you need not worry about printing output ending up skewed and faulty. The Genesis printer comes with a companion application for remote monitoring that allows you to check the printing procedure off-site over your smartphone, which translates as full control of your Genesis 3D printout, any time, anywhere, and also instantaneous printing termination by a simple click of a button without having to be in the same room as your 3D printer.

Another useful feature of Blacksmith Genesis is its Blacksmith Sorcerer software which allows you to scan an object, modify it and create something completely new even without extensive 3D printing knowledge. When fitted with an SD card containing compatible (.stl and .obj) files, Genesis can even work as a standalone printer thanks to its integrated LCD monitor without the need to connect it to your PC. When used with computer connection, Genesis runs a web-based software that allows you to scan, change and print objects with 50-200 microns print resolution.

Output-wise, Genesis sports a considerable build volume of 6,650 cubic centimeters, which is rather impressive considering the slight size of the printer itself (Genesis measures 350 by 250 millimeters, with 57% of effective printing area). Thanks to its unique cylindrical design and slender build, the sleek-looking Genesis can be used either for home or office purposes. Below is the list of some more Blacksmith Genesis specs:

GENESIS旋转3D打印机

在不断增长的3D打印机市场上，只有几台机器，真正站出来为他们创新的设计，良好的性能和多功能性，以及创世纪的3D打印机由年轻的新加坡公司铁匠承诺加入高级多用途3D名单印刷人群。在一个超级智能设备结合了旋转的3D打印机，3D扫描仪和复印机，最近公布的成因目前正在进行的Indiegogo一个集资活动，所以，如果你正在寻找一款多功能打印机来扫描仪和复印机，这其中的好-worth检查。

因此，除了其超凡的所有功能于一身的设计，还有什么套以上成因的打印/扫描人群在那里休息吗？嗯，首先，成因与特点以顺时针方式构建板旋转，从而使挤出机存入长丝相当高的效率和速度，同时声称更小的空间占用空间比一般笛卡尔平台打印机和三角洲机器人革命性的旋转打印床印刷平台。最重要的是，铁匠工程团队决定把一个额外的摄像头，监控3D打印过程，并提供自动错误检测，所以你不必担心打印输出结束了扭曲和错误的。创世纪打印机附带远程监控伴侣应用程序，允许您检查印刷过程异地在你的智能手机，它转换为完全控制你的成因3D打印输出，任何时间，任何地点，并且还即时打印终端通过简单点击按钮，而不必在同一个房间内的三维打印机。

铁匠创世记另一个有用的功能是它的铁匠巫师软件，它允许您扫描的对象，修改它并创建一些全新的东西，即使没有大量的3D打印知识。当装有含有兼容（.STL和.OBJ）文件的SD卡，创甚至可以作为一个独立的打印机由于其集成的液晶显示器，而无需将其连接到您的电脑。当与电脑连接使用，创运行基于Web的软件，可以让你扫描，以50-200微米的打印分辨率变化和打印对象。

输出明智，创体育6650立方厘米，这是相当令人印象深刻的考虑打印机本身的大小略有（创测量350 250毫米，有效印刷面积57％）相当构建卷。由于其独特的圆柱形设计和修长的身材，圆滑的外观创世记既可以用于家用或办公用途。下面是一些铁匠创规格列表：

打印机：
