Foton 3Dprinter

Overview

The foton 3D printer's is a redesign of the origional Mendel printer currently being developed by
Fotonlabs.

The primary goals in the redesign are to:

• reduce assembly time
• reduce the time and materials demanded in production
• build upon the printers esthetic value.

Materials

The mechanics of this this printer are almost entirely made from a single polyurethane plastic

Production process

Created through an open casting process, which is both time and cost efficient and opens the printer up to the possibility of mass production, whilst also representing the possibility of a much higher level of self replication.

Assembly

See the flickr photostream for build pictures.
