Dremel Unveils Idea Builder 3D40 3D Printer

Tool manufacturer Dremel announces the second-generation Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 3D printer, specially addressed at the educational sector.

The updated device comes with several enhanced features for it to be easily implemented in classroom, including USB and WIFI connection, active filament monitoring, a maintenance-free extruder and assisted levelling. The larger build volume of 255 x 155 x 170 mm allows for printing objects with a minimum layer size of 100 microns using 1.75 mm PLA filament.

Users will also be able to control the printer with the new Dremel 3D iOS and Android apps launching in May. Additionally, it can also be used with Print Studio software to optimise design and make modifications based upon functionality.

The retail version 3D40-01 includes one Flash Drive with Print Studio software, build tape and environmentally friendly PLA filament. The EDU version 3D40-EDU includes an added kit with 3D-specific curriculum loaded on a USB, two build plates, extra build tape and four filament spools in a variety of colors.

George Velez, Manager Dremel 3D Education, said: “As classrooms continue to approach education through hands-on learning, the advancements we’ve made to the Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 provide an unprecedented experience with 3D printing technology. We wanted to give educators and students the ability to engage with 3D printing in a limitless capacity.”

About a month ago, the company launched the Dremel Dreams program to promote a student-driven learning environment for 3D printing. The program equips educators with a comprehensive toolkit for classroom support, including 3D-specific lesson plans and intuitive design software and hardware.
