Dremel launched a new multipurpose 3D printer titled the 'Digilab 3D20.' This printer is designed to be easy to use, even by novice operators and first-time hobbyists. The printer has physical interface options by ways of USB and SD card support, meaning designs and plans can be uploaded directly to the device without requiring Bluetooth connections and third-party applications.
Navigating the 3D20 is made easy with its touchscreen display and detailed settings. Additionally, the printer is easy to calibrate and load with the necessary materials for any given job. In terms of materials, the DigiLab 3D20 was created primarily for wood printing, meaning it transforms sawdust and wood filament into solid, bonded woodworks. The resulting works boast similar structural integrity to whole wood blocks, meaning this is both a sustainable and innovative form of 3D printing.
