The 3D Printing Innovations at CES 2019

On the 8th of January, the annual Consumer Electronic Show (CES) kicked off in Las Vegas. It gathered, as usual, thousands of people intrigued about the business of consumer technologies. The show has an essential role in providing a platform for innovators and breakthrough technologies. For the last 50 years, many innovators have used this global stage to introduce their products to the market place. In fact, the event touches all sectors of new technologies including smart cities, sustainability, self-driving cars, cryptocurrencies, robotics, drones, artificial intelligence, gaming, and also 3D printing! This year, 79 exhibitors for additive manufacturing were present at CES 2019; larger companies were involved but also many startups. On the 11th at night, CES 2019 will end. Therefore, it’s time to recap which 3D printing innovations were announced in the last 3 days.

Which 3D Printing Innovations were announced at CES 2019?

1. XYZPrinting debut their new mini colour 3D Printer and more

Over the years, XYZPrinting has taken the habit of introducing new products at the CES. This time, the Taiwanese company officially introduced their newest printer: the Da Vinci Color Mini FDM 3D Printer. What’s the difference between this printer and a conventional FDM printer? This one offers full-colour 3D prints. This announces a tremendous step forward in consumer 3D printing as not many options for colour 3D printing exist on the market today. The starting price suggested by XYZPrinting for its printer is $1,599.

Simon Shen, CEO of XYZPrinting said, “By providing an affordable and compact full-colour printer, we are very pleased to be bringing colour 3D printing technology within reach for small businesses, schools, designers, makers and general consumers. We will continue to provide innovative, high-quality 3D printers while making it affordable for everyone to utilise this technology and incorporate it into their daily lives”.
