Blueprinter is shipping

Friday, April 12, 2013 by Alexander Oster

Blueprinter is a wonderful approach to get sintering from a price-range of 150000€ and more of current Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) machines into a more affordable dimension.

The machine sinters polyamide like powder with a technology called Selective Heat Sintering (SHS). As the Laser is replaced by a heating element, the price tag of this machine is only 12500€ - a number which should be attractive for many businesses.

netfabb delivers the backend of its software stack, and so we have been able to get exclusive picture material of the final production version of the machine. With its clean looking design and very compact construction, it will fit very well in a commercial environment.

Congratulations to Blueprinter for the first shipment! We look forward to see the machine printing live soon.
