NewPro3D (World's Fastest?) at CES 2016

Diego Castanon is part of the NewPro3D team. Their printer is CLIP's biggest (and fastest) competitor. According to Diego, it prints the same sphere as the Carbon3D (6.5 minutes) in 4.3 minutes. It works without oxygen permeable glass so there is essentially no size limitation and it's non-dependent on specific resins. It utilizes a provisional patent which is described as a "dead-zone" to replace the glass layer. The build from CES uses what appears to be an off-the-shelf projector, but SLA would also be an option. Next, they are working on metal 3D printer which he claims will be twice as fast (as other metal printers?). We are certainly excited to see where this technology goes in the next year!

1. I'm down for the cause. I wonder if you have to rent this machine annually like Carbon?
2. Can this work with polycarbonate?
3. did anybody else notice he said " we have no size limitations" and then "we can print an object 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter" 😂😂
4. It seems like you could lay out some glass fiber, cover it with resin, hit it with the laser, and bam, fiber reinforced composite with complicated geometry. You could weave on some layers too.
5. you can print a 99% hollow object really fast? OMG No one cares
6. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A FAKE COMPANY!!! january 15th lanch date past, no launch no photos no product, no lab... if you check their website, you can see that the product they are LAUNCHING is a raytraced photorealistic graphics model of a prototype and that nothing of the kind has been built for genuine real company photos. they are fake!!! ... on their facebook they have started to attend medical industry events to print skulls on their huge 3d printer which probably uses no new technology different from carbon3d.
7. it's just a dlp with a uv bulb.
8. Beautiful. Nowdays, for every huge company, there is now a smaller one that does the same thing better and cheaper. Oxygen permeable glass? HAHA Carbon was being so mysterious about their secret technology, but that's all it is? Hey instead of a projector or laser, why not an LCD screen? So does it still print in layers really fast, or is it seamless like Carbon?
9. I have one small issue with his idea with the laser, "move it down and I have four times the area than previously." Except that laser point has the possibility of being wider once you go from 1M to 2M, depending on the laser. Just thought I'd throw that out there. The laser may be fine however, or the width might be small enough to have no impact. The makers of Peachy Printer made a canoe using their laser-resin printer, and they noted the deformity of the laser point at the wider points of the print that caused slight distortion to the final product.
   I'd also like to mention that different resins might cure at different wavelengths of light. If resin A cures at wavelength x, resin B cures at wavelength y, and resin C cures at wavelength z, but you only have a laser that outputs wavelength x; Resin A cures, resin B may partially cure, and resin C doesn't cure at all. See the problem? Now scale that up to each individual company, he mentions 2, plus his own, there's Carbon, and there were a few different kickstarters I remember, then probably even more. If they all cure at different wavelengths, a laser that only outputs the wavelength for one of them will cause issues.
   
   Also, on a side note, will any of this be open source or hackable? I'd be interested in trying out some ideas if it is.
10. I saw an early 3d printer at U of L way before many people knew about them and it was MASSIVE!
11. frying pan
12. new law of non stick fying pan.
13. india fastest 3Dprinter.
    3Dware.co.in
14. so........ clear something up. Can this guy use any type of resin?
15. have read this post and could not understand how they did it is living ???? http://mytechon.com/3d-printing-of-the-human-heart-is-no-longer-news/
16. I'm failing to understand how this printer actually works, he says that it can print any resin in a large space, but the machine is quite small, is the printer made up of two pieces that work together, or is he implying that you have to manually glue multiple smaller pieces together?
17. You know I'm starting to see where Donald Trump is coming from XD
18. In the beginning: I'm like, uh, salesman.
    At the end: I'm jerking off to the guy.
19. I'm about 95% certain that I how they are doing this, and the way they create the deadzone is incredibly simple. They reason they are not selling a machine is probably two-fold.
    1) They know they don't have have the clout to manipulate the patent office to grant a real patent on something that is so obvious that it should not be patentable. Only a company with a huge herd of lawyers - like StrataSys or 3DSystems has done this, and can do this again.
    2) They know they don't have the resources to sue and instill fear into a hundred companies who would quickly adopt their very simple technique. US patent laws are also widely ignored by Asian manufactures.
    
    Once the "secret" gets out, lots of people with opensource/homebrew SLA printers will be doing it. It requires little or no modifications to the machine to make it work. There is nothing they can do about that.
20. c'on! who let this salesman inside Ces... It's supposed to be more geeky than this. This guy was selling vacuum cleaners and now laser 3d printers :P
