ROBO 3D R1 Plus brings the world of 3D Printing down to earth. Whether you are looking to own one in the home/office or for DIY projects, prototyping, and concept actualization, you now have what you need. What’s more, it does the job those more expensive units that only up until now were able to accomplish.

3D Printing is becoming the hottest way to take what is in your mind and turn those thoughts & images into reality. You can now create actual objects in a way that is simple and mimics the printing of a common page of text.

This unit uses spools of 1.75 mm filament in over 15 different materials. This means you can fabricate your creations using:

T-Glass
ABS
Lay Wood
HIPS
Carbon Fiber
TPU

You can create with the colors of the rainbow as well as a plethora of materials.

Layer Resolution

Here is where the ROBO R1 plus really shines as it can give you 100-micron accuracy in the final output. This puts the R1 Plus on the level of its other contenders that cost thousands more. This makes it ideal for the prototyping of new products, as this allows you to create precision parts to build full-scale models of the finished object that are precise and professional looking and don’t look ragged around the edges.

Build Volume

This product gives you one of the largest build volumes available for a personal/home/office purpose at 10 x 9 x 8 inches that provide you with a whopping 720 cubic inches of usable space to fabricate with. This is 2 times what other contenders are capable of doing.

This means you don’t have to restrict yourself to creating tiny models and can create larger and thus more detailed replicas of your concept’s design and final form.

This combining the precision and volume of size take the ROBO R1 Plus into a new level of 3D Printing.
