Engineers Get First Look at Airwolf 3D's High-Performance 3D Printer at ATX West
"Our high-performance AW3D HD is the fastest, most accurate 3D printer available for under $3,000"
ATX West 2014
ANAHEIM, Calif.--Engineers attending ATX West looking for a high-performance 3D printer for rapid prototyping within cutting-edge robotics, automation and assembly technologies will receive spectacular live demonstrations of Airwolf 3D's AW3D HD at Booth #3390 here this week.
ATX West is the largest design and manufacturing event on the West Coast where 50,000 engineering professionals can hear Airwolf 3D president and co-founder Erick Wolf speak on "Applications of Desktop 3D Printers for Rapid Prototyping" on Wednesday, February 12 at 11 a.m.
"Our high-performance AW3D HD is the fastest, most accurate 3D printer available for under $3,000," Wolf explained. "The AW3D HD is also easy to use. It features a class-leading build envelope of 1,150 cubic inches (12" x 8" x 12"), making it ideal for rapid prototyping. The printer offers layer-to-layer resolution as fine as 0.06mm, and a maximum print speed of 150mm/s with a positioning precision of 0.02mm. The 3D printer is fully autonomous, so no link-up to a computer is required."
Airwolf 3D is noteworthy in that it uses its own 3D printers to replicate themselves nearly 24/7 at the company's headquarters in Costa Mesa, Calif. This enables Airwolf 3D technicians to seamlessly evolve and improve the machines. The process also acts as quality control (QC) to ensure the 3D printers perform flawlessly over long periods of continuous use.
The AW3D HD 3D printer comes standard with Matter Control Pro host software and a six-month warranty. It's compatible with both Windows and Mac computers.
The patent-pending Airwolf JR (jam resistant) 3D printer hot end provides higher performance than standard nozzles as well as vastly increased serviceability. This drop-in replacement for Prusa-derived 3D printers is available with 0.50mm and optional 0.35mm orifice nozzles.
Purchasers eager to start building with their new 3D printer can download an STL file from several locations on the Internet, then slice and print. Unlike other printers that may only offer 8 different printing materials, the AW3D HD accepts 12 materials from multiple sources, making it remarkably cost efficient.
MSRP for the fully assembled and calibrated AW3D HD with Airwolf 3D's proprietary jam-resistant hot end is $2,995.
Additional models include the AW3D XL ($2,399 MSRP), AW3D V5 ($1,695 MSRP) and two 3D printer kits that come unassembled and presoldered: AW3D XL ($1,895 MSRP) and AW3D ($1,295 MSRP).

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
