The new Origin One 3D printer for high-volume production

Origin, the Californian startup that developed its Open Additive Production platform to offer a new manufacturing method based on open materials, expandable software and modular hardware, with the aim of meeting the demand for better quality materials and customisation, just made a big announcement. The company revealed that it has now launched a new 3D printer: the Origin One. The Origin One is based on Programmable Photopolymerization (P3) technology and has a not so large but quite tall building volume of 192 x 108 x 350 mm.

The company has also announced a new partnership with ECCO, one of the largest shoe manufacturers in Denmark. This new SLA/DLP 3D printer aims to make high-volume 3D printing possible as explained by Jakob Møller Hansen, Vice President Research & Development at ECCO, “We expect Origin’s open additive approach will enable us to reduce development time, lower costs, and accelerate our time-to-market.”

Founded in 2015, the US startup identified the issue of closed solutions in the additive manufacturing sector. For example, manufacturers producing materials exclusively compatible with their machines. To meet this challenge, the startup had the brilliant idea of creating a platform that would take the form of an open ecosystem to offer custom-made materials. Its broad network of partners allowed the platform to expand its range of materials considerably. In addition, the platform provides manufacturing customers flexibility in terms of the parts they can produce, higher printing speed and more efficient post-processing.
