Three-Dimensional printing has been discussed and coveted for quite some time, but has only been available by outsourcing. Now Hewlett Packard, one of the best known names in printing, has stepped up and is ready to penetrate the market through a worldwide distribution agreement with Stratasys. HP was the first to capture a dominant position in large format printers, and will rapidly follow suit with Desktop 3D printers.
The new HP uPrint 3D, the entry level model of the exclusive line of 3D printers, allows architects, designers, engineers and others to create 8 inch, 3D plastic models and prototypes in up to eight colours directly from a true desktop printer. The printer will take computer generated digital designs from CAD software and print using Stratasys’ patented Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology.
The HP branded 3D printer will be manufactured by Stratasys, HP's Graphic Solutions Business will execute the distribution agreement and ultimately the new HP Desktop 3D printer will be available for shipment in March, 2010.
