3D Printer: HP DesignJet Color 3D-CQ655A

I bet you will give your printer a surprised second look. Yes! 3d printing is now a reality in India. The czars in printer industry have launched their Designjet Color 3D-CQ655A. Despite HP’s reputation for serving the high end consumer printers, it has forayed into the moderate price segment.

Instead of paper, you just have to have already supply of easily available ABS plastic or can experiment even with titanium (not for this variant though).

The printers are made by HP in collaboration with Stratasys. “Fused Deposition modeling” technology is used in printing out the tiny 3d models you wish to fabricate. This technology uses a nozzle to deposit molten polymer onto a support structure, layer by layer. The resolution is stated by layer thickness. The dot per pixel defines the x-y resolution. The resolution is comparable to the laser printers.

These new printers are primarily aimed at mechanical engineers and designers to mock- ups and prototypes of new ideas. They can also be used by teachers educating their students who will have to deal with the 3d technology like never than before. The students of paleontology, anatomy, genetics, chemistry, forensic pathology are going to be benefited the most.

But the biggest gainer is the art fraternity. Imagine how much Michelangelo would be happy!
