New Application Brings Massive Performance Improvements and Native CAD-to-Print Capabilities to Additive Manufacturing Technicians, Python Scriptability Opens Door to Workflow and Production Automation, Plus Early Access Program For Owners of Legacy Build Processors

Mimaki Europe, a leading manufacturer of inkjet printers and cutting systems, today announces that it has partnered with video game giant Minecraft along with a French government administration to deliver a nationwide competition aiming to raise awareness of social and environmental issues amongst young people. Having seen over 1200 entrants vying to create the ultimate sustainable town using Minecraft’s video game platform – some as young as thirteen – Mimaki’s 3DUJ-553 full-colour 3D printer enabled the winning design to be brought to life in vivid detail in an intricate 3D printed model gifted to the victor this October, marking a year since the competition originally began.

You are never too old for model building, not even at VMR. Therefore we were looking forward to the challenge to produce a model for the company Breyer from Singen. They needed a 1:10 scale model of a special machine for a trade fair. After preparing the data, all individual components were produced in our 3D printer. For an exhibition model with high demands on the surface, however, there is still no suitable additive process. For this reason, the individual parts were then ground by hand. Then the model was painted and assembled - just like in real model making.

Für Modellbau ist man nie zu alt, auch nicht bei VMR. Daher haben wir uns auf die Herausforderung gefreut ein Messemodell für die Firma Breyer aus Singen anfertigen zu dürfen. Diese benötigten für eine Messe eine Sondermaschine im Maßstab 1:10 als Modell. Nach Aufbereitung der Daten wurden alle Einzelbauteile bei uns im 3D-Drucker hergestellt. Für ein Messemodell mit hohen Ansprüchen an die Oberfläche gibt es jedoch noch kein geeignetes additives Verfahren. Aus diesem Grund wurden die Einzelteile anschließend per Hand geschliffen. Danach wurde das Modell lackiert und zusammengesetzt - wie im richtigen Modellbau eben.
