In January of 2013, Dell made headlines when the announced their order of no less than 5,000 3D printers from the young Polish manufacturer Zortrax. The Zortrax M200 has a rather seductive appearance the seduced us here at 3Dnatives to do a review in our 3Dnatives lab. We want to give a big thank you to Machine-3D, the distributor of Zortrax, who loaned us the machine.
With its original release in 2014, this printer is a Plug & Play that offers layer resolution of between 90 and 400 microns. This printer is compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows 7 (including newer versions). With its heating plate, it allows you to print objects with a maximum size of 200 x 200 x 180 mm.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, lets see this bad boy in action!
