Kudo3D Announces Upgrade of Compact, High-Resolution SLA Bean 3D Printer

Kudo3DInc, a California-based startup founded in 2013 by Dr. TeddSyao, introduced the DLP-SLATitan13D printer in 2014 and Titan2 two years later, both of which are widely used by academic institutions and companies around the world.These 3D printers, Beans all use Kudo3D's patented Passive Self-Peel (PSP) technology and when it comes to Bean3D, Kudo3D has been busy developing several new upgrades for its latest 3D printer.

Another thing that Kudo3D is good at is the successful crowdfunding campaign for its 3D printers, which Titan1 reportedly raised about $ 690,000 during its Kickstarter campaign, and this summer launched Kickstarter for its Bean3D printer, Within two minutes it reached the initial funding target of $ 50,000, reaching more than 800% of this goal in two weeks.

Desktop Bean is an LCD-based SLA3D printer, which means it does not use laser or DLP projection 3D models, but uses a high-resolution 2KLCD panel with a purple 405nm LED lamp. In addition, it is also cheap and environmentally friendly, the company will The Bean Casting Resin is quickly available just as it is for the Titan 1. The compact Bean is equipped with a spring-loaded, leveling platform that is calibrated before being shipped to the customer.
This summer, the Beanick 3D printer's Kickstarter campaign was a great success, but it was still available through the Indiegogo event, which has so far raised more than $ 840,000 on two crowdfunding platforms.Kudo3D wrote at Indiegogo: "Throughout the event, we demonstrate that LCD-based SLAs are more advanced 3D printing technologies in terms of resolution and cost."

The Bean3D printer is designed for the consumer, which is why it delivers high print quality and a sleek, stylish look at a reasonable price by combining Kudo3D's proprietary PSP technology with an ultra-high resolution LCD panel .
To ensure the highest quality, Kudo3D has been upgrading its original Bean prototypes and refined engineering designs, Dr. Syao said.

Bean already has a high resolution of 47um, and one of Kudo3D's new upgrades is a power boost from 40W to 60W. It has print speeds of 10 to 20 milligrams per hour, depending on the model number, compared to other DLP3D printers Compared to a high resolution of 50 μm XY with a 10 μm thickness on the Z axis.

This is a compact 3D printer for office, studio and other environments, weighs only 15 pounds, a volume of 68 × 120 × 155 mm, size 20 × 20 × 40 cm Bean resin containers are Titan2 containers Improved version, only need to replace Teflon film.

Update and upgrade of Bean3D printer including integrated lead screw and Raspberry Pi 3, Kudo3D is also developing an integrated software.Currently there are four kinds of liquid resin colors to choose from, in 2018 before shipment, castable resin will be announced.

Currently, you can buy the Bean3D Printer Set for $ 449 (excluding shipping) on ​​Indiegogo, which is equivalent to a 62% saving, with a 3D printer, 250g of green resin, build platform, PSP resin container and starter kit , Including the following:

Gloves, funnel, LAN cable, plastic case with lid, black rubber scraper, wood handle metal scraper In addition, for an extra $ 100, you get the Bean3D Printer Deluxe Package, including an additional PSP resin container, in addition to Green resin, there are 250 grams of gray resin, as well as WiFi repeaters and post-curing lights.
