The unit works by being paired with the printer where it will allow for [semi-continuous printing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratasys-neo800-plus) to automatically create job after job without continuous intervention. This solves the issue commonly faced by makers and DIYers alike who will leave a 3D printer to complete a job, which often results in more time being given for print times than needed. The Jobox automation system will work with [eight printing sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2d) to start, which can be loaded on a continuous basis as required. This means the printing process can continue on a near-limitless manner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Printer Conveyor Belts:** The use of 3D printer conveyor belts to automate the printing process and increase productivity. - **Aftermarket 3D Printing Accessories:** The creation of aftermarket accessories that improve the functionality and efficiency of 3D printers. - **Semi-continuous Printing:** The trend towards semi-continuous printing allowing for job after job to be completed without continuous intervention. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **3D Printing:** 3D printing industry can capitalize on the development of 3D printer conveyor belts as an efficient and productivity-boosting accessory. - **Additive Manufacturing:** Additive manufacturing industry can benefit from the trend of creating aftermarket accessories that improve the functionality and efficiency of 3D printers. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing industry can utilize semi-continuous printing technology to automate the production process and increase productivity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Conveyor Belt 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideaformer-ir3-v2.md) - [Custom 3D-Printing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automation-ecosystem.md) - [Aftermarket 3D Printer Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/co-print-chromaset.md) - [Efficient 3D Printing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-3d-printers.md) - [Quick Set-Up 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-p1s.md) - [Multi-Head 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prusa-xl-multi-material.md) - [High-Speed Printing Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centauri.md) - [Plug-and-Play 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokoni-3d-printer.md) - [Consumer-Grade 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k1-max.md)
