Though 3D printing technology has proven its worth time and time again in recent years, the majority of applications have been in industrial and commercial settings. The Poieo3D Printer is the logical next step in the evolution of 3D printing, seamlessly incorporating this advanced technology into our daily lives by ensuring it’s safe, simple to use, and affordable.
To that end, the Toronto, Ontario-based R&D team behind the Poieo3D Printer made safety a priority in all aspects of the design, beginning with the elegantly rounded, polycarbonate-ABS injection molded case. There are no confusing and superfluous buttons or screens, no sharp edges or fiddly clamps, no hot plates or wayward lasers to burn tiny hands or damage inquisitive eyes. Instead, a cool-running white LED bulb showcases each and every 3D-printed creation as it comes into being, layer by paper-thin layer.
“Sure there are competitive products with flashy laser cutter attachments,” explains Tom Zelenka (M.B.A., P.Eng.), one of the co-founders of Poieo3D.com, “but as a parent do you really want that in your home? I don’t know how many times my son has reached in for a part while it’s printing. If that was a laser cutter he would not have a hand!”
