New High-Speed 3D Printer: Gizmo 3D – Update: Gizmo 3D Hits Indiegogo

Following Carbon3D’s groundbreaking new CLIP technology, reaching a print speed 25 times faster than traditional 3D printers, Gizmo 3D unveiled a system featuring a similar speed.

26nd March 2015 – It uses a the Direct Light Processing (DLP) technology, which solidifies and fuses liquid resin into a solid 3D object with the aid of a projector. The only difference to the existing technology is, that Gizmo 3D’s prototype doesn’t pause at each layer, but works in a fluid process.

Founder of Gizmo 3D, Kobus Toit, calls the process “animated printing”, referring to the light exposure which is played as an animation. Additionally, objects are printed top-down, compared to traditional bottom-up DLP technology. However, Toit does not want to reveal to much about the actual technology before the official launch on Kickstarter.

Check out the following video, where a 30 mm object is 3D printed in just 6 minutes:

The fast 3D printer from Gizmo 3D will be available for pre-order on March 1st through Indiegogo. The 3D printing process from Gizmo utilises DLP as a basis for their printers.

The Super Speed mode on Gizmo 3D delivers even faster 3D prints:
