Milkshake3D the new 3D printer for artists

Ori Lab is a Hong Kong based company that began a financing campaign through Kickstarter for their 3D printer, the MilkShake3D. This is one of the first SLA printers using top down printing, a key feature that has made their current campaign a success.

The Chinese Company was founded by a group of artists and 3D engineers who wanted to create a 3D printer that could meet their needs that were not being filled, by creating a 3D printer that was made specifically for artists and designers. After a year of research, development and improvements, the printer will finally be able to come to life.

What sets MilkShake3D’s printer apart from other machines is their printing system. What’s special about this system is that they have incorporated a tray that shrinks while the 3D printer is running. Offering better stability during printing and therefore an impressive level of detail throughout the object.

Following along with this innovative method, their machine also has a large print volume when compared to most SLA printers, reaching a volume of 288 x 162 x 160 mm, with the ability to be adjusted to create smaller objects (such as jewelry). The print resolution of the MilkShake3D is very high as well from between 20 to 100 microns, including an XY accuracy of 50 microns. In addition to this, the printer also includes a resin cleaning system that provides smooth surfaces, saving time when printing multiple parts.
