If you’ve read the previous post on the HP 3D printer then you should have a rough idea of what these things are capable of. Well hyundai have sponsored the royal college of art in London and the results show just how useful 3D printers could be if they ever reached mainstream. Students of the Vehicle Design programme at the Royal art of college used Mcors’ Matrix 300 3D printer to create vehicle concept models.
The Mcor Matrix 300 builds the models in a different way to HPs’ upcoming model and also can print color and texture. It builds the models using A4 sheets of paper, adhesive and a blade that’s built into the printer, and claims to be more eco-friendly than alternative 3D printers aswell as being “inexpensive”. The printer is currently on sale in Ireland and the UK, but as the price indicates (€29,950 including software) it’s still not something everyone will have in their home.
