3D printing is a continuous revolution that has brought us fascinating new creations, such as a modern version of chainmail from NASA or even shoes from Adidas. Over the last few years, 3D printing has integrated itself deeper and deeper into the lives of people and businesses, giving us fast, new innovations almost daily.

AONIQ, an Australian based company, is the latest innovator; debuting their market disrupting 3D printer called the 888. This 3D printer packs a big punch, as it is able to print with a very popular material, PVC. Because PVC contains Vinyl Chloride, a human carcinogen, it is a highly toxic material to print with, due to the release of toxins when heated. It is for this reason that PVC hasn’t been incorporated into 3D printing previously. But now, thanks to AONIQ, their 3D printer could mean huge steps will be able to be made in sectors who depend on this material.

Created as a professional FDM printer for high-quality production of components, it has the ability to print in both PVC and standard 3D printing material. AONIQ has also created their own PVC 3D printing formula for their machine, that prints prototypes that include a “honeycomb infill.”
