XYZprinting Unveils Da Vinci Color AiO: The Ultimate All-in-One 3D Printing Solution and Advanced Materials at Formnext

XYZprinting, a leading innovator in the additive manufacturing industry, consistently makes its mark at major global events. At the third edition of Formnext, a premier exhibition for additive manufacturing, XYZprinting proudly introduced its groundbreaking Da Vinci Color AiO. This revolutionary all-in-one 3D printer redefines desktop manufacturing by seamlessly integrating full-color 3D printing, precise laser engraving, and versatile 3D scanning functionalities into a single, cohesive unit. This comprehensive machine is designed to empower users, from hobbyists to small businesses, to bring their creative visions to life with unprecedented ease and efficiency.

Building on the immense success of the original Da Vinci Color, launched just over a year prior, XYZprinting has continued its commitment to advancing color 3D printing technology. The innovation at the heart of their latest printer line, which also includes the compact Da Vinci Color mini, lies in its unique hybrid approach. It masterfully combines recognized Colour Jet technology, typically found in 2D printers, with traditional Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) – referred to as cast deposition technology. This ingenious method involves spraying CMYK color drops directly onto each layer of the 3D model as it’s being built, enabling the creation of intricate pieces with an astonishing spectrum of millions of vibrant colors. This fusion provides unparalleled detail and realism, elevating the capabilities of desktop 3D printing.

Da Vinci Color AiO: The Complete Desktop Manufacturing Hub

The new Da Vinci Color AiO introduces two transformative features that are set to make it an indispensable tool for the burgeoning maker movement and professional designers alike. XYZprinting has strategically evolved its machine into a complete manufacturing kit by integrating a high-performance 3D scanner and a precise laser engraver. This integration significantly streamlines workflows, allowing users to effortlessly replicate existing objects, customize their designs with intricate details, and personalize creations like never before, all from a single, compact device. The ability to scan an object, modify its design, and then print or engrave it, drastically reduces the time and complexity traditionally associated with product development and personal fabrication.

Simon Shen, CEO of XYZprinting, articulated the vision behind this innovation: “This latest innovation marks a significant leap forward for desktop 3D printing. The additional features of integrated scanning and engraving position the Da Vinci Color AiO as the most complete desktop 3D printing unit ever developed. It offers businesses and designers an unprecedented opportunity to realize their ideas at a significantly lower cost. The need to purchase multiple separate units is entirely eliminated, providing an all-encompassing solution that fosters creativity and efficiency.” This statement underscores the company’s commitment to making advanced manufacturing technologies more accessible and affordable for a broader audience, fostering a new era of innovation.

Beyond its multifunctional capabilities, this innovative 3D printer boasts a generous construction volume of 200 x 200 x 150 mm, providing ample space for a wide range of projects. It is engineered for ease of use, featuring XYZprinting’s intuitive software and an automatic calibration system that simplifies the setup and printing process, ensuring consistent quality prints. Available for an attractive price of €1,799 (or £1,599 VAT incl. for UK customers), the Da Vinci Color AiO offers incredible value. While the laser engraver is not bundled as standard, it can be conveniently purchased separately, allowing users to tailor their manufacturing kit to their specific needs and budget.

XYZprinting Expands Horizons with Revolutionary New Materials at Formnext

In addition to the highly anticipated debut of the Da Vinci Color AiO, XYZprinting significantly bolstered its presence at Formnext 2018 by unveiling an exciting new range of materials. These advanced filaments are specifically designed to expand the creative and functional capabilities of its entire line of 3D printers, opening new possibilities across various industries. This commitment to material innovation demonstrates XYZprinting’s dedication to providing a comprehensive ecosystem for 3D printing users, ensuring they have the right tools and materials for any application. The new lineup includes an innovative antibacterial PLA, a stunning metallic copper PLA, and a high-strength carbon fiber PLA, each engineered with unique properties to address specific demands.

First on the list is the pioneering **Antibacterial PLA**. This remarkable filament is capable of destroying an impressive 99% of common bacteria, including notorious strains like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This significant biological protection drastically reduces the risk of disease and infection transmission, making it an ideal material for critical sectors such as medical prototyping (e.g., non-implantable devices, anatomical models), educational environments where hygiene is paramount, and various home applications from kitchenware to children’s toys. It will be available in a vibrant palette of four colors: crisp white, classic red, sunny yellow, and eye-catching neon green, allowing for both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Next up is the visually striking **Metallic Copper PLA**. This filament is crafted with a high concentration of 65% copper powder, yielding a truly authentic metallic finish that closely mimics the appearance of cast metal sculptures. Its introduction is perfectly timed with the launch of XYZprinting’s new High-Speed Printing Nozzle (HSS), which is optimized for seamlessly processing this unique material. The combination of the metallic aesthetic and the potential for high-speed production makes this filament perfect for artistic endeavors, decorative items, architectural models, and various applications where a premium, weighty feel and classic metallic luster are desired.

Finally, the highly anticipated **Carbon Fiber PLA**, or “Carbon PLA,” is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of advanced industrial sectors. Composed of 10% carbon fiber, this material delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and enhanced rigidity. Its properties make it particularly well-suited for applications in aerospace, where lightweight yet robust components are crucial for fuel efficiency and performance, and in the automotive industry, for producing durable prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and custom parts that require superior structural integrity without added bulk. This filament enables the creation of very light parts with significantly greater support capacity, pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable with desktop 3D printing.

Both the groundbreaking Da Vinci Color AiO and XYZprinting’s innovative new range of materials were officially presented to the global additive manufacturing community from November 13th to 16th, 2018, at Messe Frankfurt, in Hall 3.1, Booth D10. This showcase at Formnext highlighted XYZprinting’s continuous efforts to push the boundaries of desktop 3D printing, making advanced technology more accessible and versatile for a diverse user base.
