3Dnatives Lab: Testing the Idea Builder 3D40 from Dremel

Dremel, better known for its wide range of multifunctional tools designed for manufacturers can nevertheless, boast about having nearly 5 years of experience in the 3D printing industry. In 2014, the company released its first FDM machine, the Idea Builder 3D20. Since then, Dremel has strengthened its range of 3D printers with the arrival of the Idea Builder 3D40 and a premium version called the DigiLab 3D45.

In order to learn more about the manufacturer’s developments we got our hands on its two latest models. Today, at 3Dnatives Lab we start by testing the Idea Builder 3D40 printer.

Interestingly enough, with this model, Dremel hopes to establish itself in schools, a desire clearly expressed by the brand in its media communication. “Dremel DigiLab works with primary schools to help students develop their critical thinking skills by improving their ability to visualise a concept, build prototypes, test and adapt their ideas” is written on the printer’s instruction sheet.
