![]() ![]() Touted as the world’s smallest and most affordable resin-based 3D printer to ever hit the market, the printer is being made available to early bird backers for just $189.00, in their drive to raise $300,000 for full scale production. They’ve just launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for their iBox Nano 3D printer. This afternoon a company based out of Melbourne, Florida, called iBox Printers may have just ignited an all out war within the desktop 3D printing space. That’s because the superior technology of stereolithography (SLA), which uses UV light to cure a photosensitive resin, can be an entire order of magnitude more expensive. Since that time, the race to the bottom (in terms of price) slowed down, and quality, as well as innovative features became the selling points of new printers entering the market.Īll of the machines we are talking about used the cheaper, less accurate fused filament fabrication technology. While many of these companies, like New Matter are working diligently to meet their budgets and follow through with promises made to their backers, many also failed before they ever got started. Įxcept for statements of historical fact, all statements in this press release, including, but not limited to, statements regarding future plans, objectives and payments are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties.Several months ago we had an all out price war between several companies which launched on Kickstarter trying to become the world’s cheapest 3D printer on the market. ![]() For more information on Tethon 3D, visit.

Tethon 3D is the world leader in ceramic materials for additive manufacturing. ![]() Industries with applications for Castalite include traditional and advanced manufacturing, engineering, jewelry and others. The Castalite process increases the speed of production and decreases the quantity of material used, resulting in a cost reduction. An advantage of using Castalite to directly print a mold is the elimination of a wax model or other pre-mold steps, as in traditional casting techniques. This produces a ceramic shell model ready to accept liquid metals. Molds with a sprue and gate are 3D printed directly in Castalite, followed by high temperature furnace firing. Most printers can print at 25 micron print layers and Castalite demonstrates excellent resolution at that level.” “Recent improvements in 3D printer technology provide higher resolution details in the casted metal part and faster print times. "Castalite adds another premium material to our product catalogue that compliments the growth seen in SLA and DLP hardware,” says Karen Linder, President and CEO of Tethon 3D. Following kiln firing, objects printed with Castalite are suitable for use as a ceramic shell mold in metal casting processes.Ĭastalite has very high heat and thermal shock tolerances that make it ideal for use in casting many metals such as bronze, gold, silver, and aluminum. The material, Castalite®, is a photo-curing ceramic polymer resin for use in SLA or DLP printers. Omaha, NE (PRWEB) - Tethon Corporation (“Tethon3D”) announces a new resin material for 3D printing. Castalite directly produces a 3D printed mold for metal investment casting. ![]()
