Contributing 3D printing industry with clay and food printing, VormVrij added another solution to its LUTUM® series. The firm presented the new product at Prototyping Expo for the first time.
Offering solutions in both clay and food printing with different extruder options, LUTUM attended to Prototyping Expo held between the dates of 9-10 November in Kortrijk, Belgium. LUTUM 3 whose prototype was demonstrated at the fair received great interest from the visitors.
With the new LUTUM 3 clay 3D printer, Dutch 3D printing company Vormvrij is making a big statement to allay the fears of clay 3D printing skeptics. The company’s new 3D printer, due in March 2017, will feature a closed system, suitable for use in different working environments, and will offer an improved extrusion system and dual-material printing. The latest working prototype of the LUTUM 3 was showcased at last week’s Prototyping Expo in the Belgian city of Kortrijk.
LUTUM 3’s dual-material printing system enables users to create multi-material ceramic objects, but also allows them to create larger 3D printed items than would otherwise be impossible. This is because it is now possible to switch out a used-up cartridge while the other is currently printing. To demonstrate this process, the company successfully printed a 30-centimeter-tall structure using four clay cartridges and a total of three liters of clay. That print took around three hours.
