3D printing is one of the few sectors in which the open source community has exceeded industrial players. Although a much smaller build volume, the annex k3 or voron is all most would ever need, in my opinion of course.
somewhere in the 200-300k range.. Stratasys was always and will always be ridiculously expensive.. Printer, Parts and closed system Filaments are all extremly overpriced..
I have a 3D-printed sample of a planetary gear made in nylon that I picked up at an exhibition at the Stratasys booth in 2006, a print-in-place sample with impressive quality. That sample has been with me all these years, and only now in 2024 have I managed to make something of similar quality in Nylon with a BambuLab X1C. It's been 18 years before I have something on the same level as the Stratasys of 2006.
You are looking at the company that is responsible for those 18 years of waiting. Stratasys had the patent on heated chambers and it expired around 2021.
Nothing about this looks innovative... just normal tool changer type design with a heated build area and built in filament dryers. I thought there must be something to this to make it worth the asking price, but wow the build quality looks like a prototype - just laser/water cut steel pieces and off the shelf hardware. Fairly slow speed too. Nothing special here at all I don't understand how they stay in business besides getting other companies to believe they are the go-to for some reason. Stratasys, please at least do something unique or innovative. I would love to be impressed and say well done if you did.
Long-overdue; Stratasys is hardly innovating in a way that's leading the market. Well, maybe that's not entirely true; definitely continuing to keep bloated price points in first place. Honestly, how can you price these commodity sdolutions in a way that's above 5-axis CNC's yet bemoan lack of "mass adoption". The AM industry is its own worst enemy.

how much this overengineered Prusa XL with filament dryer and high temp hotend costs? Like 500 000 dollars? xDD

@@chillermrq That's just ridiculous
Looks like a ripoff of prusa XL at probably 50X the price. How can they patent something Prusa introduced 2 years ago?
lowering cost per part? thats funny.
Faster, more flexible and less expensive parts--impressive!
I was looking to build a 3D print lab with Stratasys but further research into their company has changed those plans. I will not support this.
How much is it? I have like $2.
Lucky… today was my turn to eat so I’m at $0.
@@MiguelRodriguez2010 I will donate $1 to you. Maybe Stratasys can give us a discount so that we can both buy it.

Look so E3D-tool changer, Prusa-multiextruder
Stop blocking patents please!
30-year heritage of holding back tech advancement
