3D printer "The Micro" which can model and output intuitively and seamlessly at about 30,000 yen

Due to the evolution of 3D printers"Stronger than iron · lighter than water" Potential for the creation of dream materialIt came out,Studies that will make it possible to make a real heartAlthough all the possibilities are gradually spreading, it is possible to obtain such a 3D printer at affordable price, and furthermore, it was born that we devised devises to make it easy for anyone to use itThe Micro"is. Modeling and output are possible intuitively and seamlessly, but the price is about 30,000 yen, which has been suppressed much.

You can tell what kind of 3D printer the micro is by watching the following movie.


The 3D printer "The Micro" can be used as soon as it is out of the box and connected to an outlet.


The Micro is a cube with an edge of 185 mm and weighs 1 kg. It is possible to operate on Windows, Mac and Linux, and it is possible to exchange data with PC via USB cable.


The size of the printable area is 109 mm in length × 113 mm in width × 116 mm in height. When outputting, it is necessary to create a model by stacking layers with a thickness of 50 to 350 μm. It will also be possible to output from open source modeling software.


Making fun sweets.


Make the type of cookie used at that time with The Micro ......


Mockups created at The Micro during product development ... ....


You can also make children's toys with 3D printers.


Other than outputting my own parts ......


Replacing the broken curtain hook will also make it easier if The Micro is available.


The Micro's print head is equipped with automatic leveling function and auto calibration function, which enables output at any time. For example, after thousands of hours of operation, we want to immediately output a new one, it is OK at all.


The material that can be used in The Micro is a filament spool such as plastic, ABS resin, nylon, etc. It can be used exclusively for The Micro or commercially available one of 1.75 mm, and if you use exclusive ones, more material and color It seems that you can print things of. It is OK if this filament spool connects to the inside or the outside access port of the main body.


The external access port seems to be attached to the output head.


"M3D software" is dedicated software designed to print more free things with The Micro. It is usable with touch devices, and it is finished in a simple and user-friendly user interface.


Also, with M3D you can see the completed model data from the library, and you can also print these 3D data. When outputting the 3D model, just drag the model file onto the printer and it is ok. If necessary, the printer will automatically make fine adjustments and output.


This Micro is currentlyWhile we are seeking investment with KickstarterIt is collecting capital of 670,000 dollars (about 69 million yen) exceeding the initial target amount of 50,000 dollars (about 5.2 million yen). You can get 1 The Micro by investment of 299 dollars (about 30,000 yen), but a separate shipping fee is required. The delivery is scheduled for November 2014, and the investment in The Micro itself is accepted until 7:45 pm May 7, 2014.
