After several month of testing through their community, Aleph Objects now launches the highly anticipated LulzBot Mini at the International CES this week.
The desktop 3D printer is probably one of the most open consumer electronic products ever introduced. Its design was shared with the open source community from prototype to production.
“Thanks to our active community, the LulzBot Mini is coming to market with technology that has already undergone thousands of hours of use and testing,” said Jeff Moe, President and CEO at Aleph Objects.
The LulzBot Mini features a heated self-levelling bed and with a maximum hot end temperature of 300°C (572°F) it can process a wide variety of materials. The desktop device can print with a speed of 275 mm per second at its top, reaching a layer thickness for 0.18 mm. The minimal layer thickness however is 0.05 mm.
