Vienna University Students create mini 3D printer

Printers that are mobile and mini had hit the international market years ago. But, so far there was not even a single company that rolled out 3D printer, which can be installed at home. While the wait for such printers is on, a team of technology students at Vienna University of Technology came out with the product finally.

worlds smallest 3d printer

The mini 3D printer created by the students is as small as a milk carton and weighs just about 1.5 kilograms. With such a low weight, the product can be easily carried to anywhere. In fact, you can even take it along with your laptop. Earlier, to get a 3D printout all one has to do was to rush to a nearby color lab. With this printer, people can print 3D images right at their homes. I simply can’t stop myself from hailing the Vienna University students for coming out with such an awesome product. However, there are also certain limitations to the mini 3D printer. Since this product is aimed at domestic purpose, a high-end user may not find it fruitful.

If you wish to take bulk printouts then don’t expect too much from this little product. Nonetheless, it is undoubtedly useful for average users, who wish to take two or more prints at a time.

The cost of the mini printer is 1,700 USD. The resolution of the printer was said to be excellent as it prints with outstanding precision. Another best feature of the mini 3D printer is that it can work with blueprints. The looks of the printer, to be frank, are not that appealing. The printer looks like your car battery. It has got VGA input and power socket at its back.

As of now, you can contact the Vienna University to get home this product as it has not yet hit the market.
