Our new shinny ZPrinter 450 3D Printer arrive!!

We receive our new ZPrinter 3D Printer from 3D Corporation a couple of weeks ago, but just recently we finish the set up and the official training...It is in did an incredible machine, pretty much as the Star Trek Replicator!! :-) ...Is going to help us a lot with the Mini-Dandelion rover development, moving the prototype faces more quick and reducing costs of final construction detecting problems while we are developing.

Next some pictures from the arriving to the set up and initial test printings...Enjoy!

It is in did a big machine..here the worker at the University helping to get it out from the truck.
Two big boxes, almost 500Kg!!, the big one is the printer and the other is the accessories, printing material, binder and so on...
Ahhh, the first look, I feel in love :-)
Guys from R.E.A.L preparing to get it out from the pallet box.
And here it is, inside our lab...so nice, it below to be here :-)
First printing test just getting out the printing area...
Learning how to proceed with the de-powder..
It was time to set up some Dandelion pieces for printing tests...
 Here some results..
Ahh this was nice, our first chassis print test, the next couple of pictures shows the great level of details and precision that the ZPrinter 450 can do...


 Here is a little wheel blade print test...
This was incredible, we print a working gearbox that we are developing for our rover!!, just amazing!
The next pictures shows some rover pieces after clean up and with the acrylic infiltration that make it more strong.




Two pieces printed apart from each other, after tat they just fit perfectly
 The best of all, a working gearbox...amazing..





It is in did an amazing machine, I sure that is going to help us a lot, the next videos shows also the arriving and setting up of the printer:
