This episode of D News is brought to you by Toyota.
-
Guys, this was 3D printed and I'm going to eat it.
-
Hey, guys, it's Trace here for D News.
-
I'm at CES 2014 and we're in the 3d printing area.
-
It's still the hot technology this year.
-
They have a whole section devoted just
-
to all the 3D printers at CES.
-
3D printers can use metal, they can use ceramics,
-
they can use plastics.
-
They can print bio cells.
-
They can even print food.
-
And that's what this little guy is right here.
-
Even though 3D printing is super big right now,
-
it's still kind of a super nerdy, nerdy nerd nerd level
-
of technology.
-
They've sold 68,000 3D printers, according to one poll.
-
And the industry is about $2.2 billion.
-
But most of them are way too complicated
-
for the average consumer.
-
And this year at CES, they're trying
-
to change that and bring them more into a lower price range
-
and easier to use.
-
So this is by 3-D Systems.
-
It's printed food, you guys.
-
And we're going to try it.
-
OK, guys, here we go.
-
It's good.
-
It kind of tastes like the marshmallow in Lucky Charms.
-
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 is the largest model available.
-
And it was announced here at CES.
-
It's 12 by 12 by 18 inches.
-
That is huge.
-
And you can do all sorts of cool stuff with it.
-
And we talked to Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot,
-
a little bit about it.
-
What's the best part about it, other than it's giant, right?
-
Is that it?
-
So the MakerBot Replicator Z18 is our biggest 3D printer.
-
We launched a small, medium and large one.
-
And this is the big one.
-
And there's a couple things that are special about this.
-
It's got the MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder.
-
This sends you a message when you need to add more filament.
-
And it'll send it to your phone.
-
It'll say, hey your model's done.
-
Come pick it up and get the next one started.
-
It's got a camera in it, so you can take pictures of things
-
that you make.
-
You can monitor your progress and broadcast out
-
your latest creation on social networks.
-
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 has a heated
-
build chamber, which actually keeps the models dimensionally
-
stable, as it's being made.
-
Inside the 3D printer is the MakerBot Replicator 3D printing
-
platform, the electronics and software.
-
All three 3D printers have very, very powerful electronics
-
and software behind them.
-
And this one's no different.
-
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 is for the person
-
who doesn't want any limits.
-
They want to think big.
-
They want to go-- they don't want any limitations.
-
And the third in our lineup of 3D printers at CES
-
is the DaVinci 1.0.
-
It's made by XYZ Printing, whose parent company was a 2D
-
printer.
-
So they're able to make this guy for $499.
-
Yeah, $499.
-
It's super cheap.
-
But it's made by a 2D printer that now makes 3D printers.
-
They just added that extra D. And it
-
has proprietary print cartridges.
-
So that's pretty much it for 3D printing here at CES 2014.
-
We've got a big guy.
-
We've got a cheap guy.
-
And we've got a tasty guy.
-
Which one of those would you pick, if you could have one?
-
Let us know down below in the comments.
-
