New 3D printers presented at CES 2020

Every year the manufacturer XYZprinting takes advantage of the international event to unveil one or more desktop 3D printers. This year, it unveiled for the first time the da Vinci Color 5D, an extrusion 3D printer that also offers laser engraving and 2D printing on paper. Based on the da Vinci Color mini model, it can print colour parts up to 230 × 180 × 180 mm using a combination of FDM and Inkjet technologies. Fernando Hernandez, EMEA Marketing Director of XZYprinting, added: “The da Vinci Color 5D can be used by a wide range of people, but will be particularly useful to small businesses and designers, thanks to its high quality printing and ease of use. The 2D printing and laser engraving capabilities make the da Vinci Color 5D a world first and the most comprehensive and user-friendly desktop 3D printer ever developed. Entrepreneurs and manufacturers will truly have the ability to bring their creations to life.”
