fabWeaver is an innovative new 3D printer brand working in partnership with Korea’s leading printer company Sindoh Co, Ltd. Recently debuted, the fabWeaver Type A530 is a prototyping workstation for industrial 3D printing designed by tangerine.
The Type A530, is designed to accelerate adoption of 3D printing by helping organizations create strong, high-quality parts at a low total cost of ownership. The design was derived from user research to solve the pain points of large 3D Printers, such as a discreet ‘Worktop’ that can be drawn out for effortless part handling. Unlike traditional printers with just a screen, the whole front face of the printer has been transformed into an intuitive indicator.
The ambient LED around the door communicates the printer status through colors making it easy to monitor printing from afar. The 7-inch touchscreen with a bespoke designed GUI was strategically positioned also for easy interaction. To answer remote work practice needs, the Type A530 is integrated with the Weaver3 Studio and Weaver 3 cloud/mobile software to allow seamless control from anywhere, with remote management and remote slice and print capabilities.
The Type A530 printer is designed to compete with traditional manufacturing processes. Generating a part takes a fraction of the time with its dual-nozzle printing. 310 x 310 x 310 mm build size and printing speeds of 200 mm/s allow users to print their designs to the quality they want, fast. The printer was engineered to optimize usability and performance. The large glass door was engineered to improve print accessibility and visibility, all whilst maintaining printing temperatures within the heated chamber and being safe to touch.
The goal of the design was to exude reliability and simplicity missing in existing 3D printing platforms. It is a game-changing choice for schools to companies alike, with the highest levels of plug-and-print reliability and repeatable accuracy all for an affordable price. It is perfect for any workspace, thanks to its clean, quiet, and safety-certified design. Where technology is a standardization now, the FabWeaver brand is meticulous in its details to set a new benchmark in designing 3D printing equipment.
The design of the Type A530 answers growing user needs for warmth and personalization from their technology to elevate their interiors. To express a premium design, the body is made up of contrasting finishes and ergonomic shaping at the handles and doors to express attention to detail and usability - often overlooked in manufacturing equipment. The FabWeaver Type A530 gives companies access to affordable, industrial-grade 3D printing to work faster through concept iterations and part verification effortlessly with its user-focused design.
