By collaborating with Chinese tool manufacturer Shenyang Machine Tool Co, Ltd, AIO Robotics is going to launch their Zeus prosumer FDM 3D printer on the Chinese market.
The Los Angeles-based startup, who introduced their 3D printer through a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2014, has already been working with resellers in the US, Canada, Asia, Australia and Europe. Through their partnership with Shenyang, the plug-and-play device will now also be available to Chinese customers.
Zeus is not only equipped with a build in 3D scanning feature, but also enables users to search the 3D model database of Thingiverse and MyMiniFactory directly through its touch screen display. Selected designs are then downloaded, sliced and ready for printing. Additonally, 3D models can be edited before printing using the integrated model editor.
“This is the smartest 3D Printer on the market, the first to have an integrated app store environment, internet connected, with real-time data monitoring and troubleshooting,” said AIO Robotics CTO Kai Chang. “The Zeus 3D Printer is the only true plug-and-play 3D printer. It is stand-alone which requires no external computer. “Everything you need from idea to physical object is in the box. The touchscreen makes using it a breeze.”
China’s leading machine tool manufacturer, SMTCL launched its ground-breaking “i5” intelligent CNC control and Smart Factory platform in late 2014. “As a champion of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, we are excited to include additive manufacturing in our product portfolio. The Zeus’ holistic approach is very similar to our growing i5 ecosystem. China is ready for a true pro-sumer 3d printing platform and the Zeus is outstanding” said Andrew Heath, SMTCL’s International Business GM.
