Proactively Protective 3D Printers

This Industrial-Grade 3D Printer Priorities User Safety

— August 13, 2021 — Tech
Zmorph, a Poland-based company that specializes in 3D printing, fabrication and related software, has developed an intelligently designed industrial-grade 3D printer that is designed to offer a high degree of productivity without compromising on the safety of its operator.

While some 3D printers on the market appear to treat user safety as an afterthought or an added bonus, what sets the 'Zmorph i500' apart is the fact that it has safety baked into its operations and processes from the get-go. For example, this industrial-grade 3D printer is equipped with a special filament feeding system that makes it possible to detect jams before a printing job is launched. Elsewhere, the device's door has electronic locking to ensure total safety. Another safety feature includes a handy filtration mechanism to mitigate harmful particles released into the work area.

Available for $6,300, this 3D printer will appeal to additive manufacturing operations in search of a larger 3D printer that offers a high degree of accuracy, quality and operator safety.
