New low cost steel 3D printers coming to South Africa

Archive

what incredible things they can do with these increasingly affordable machines. However, in Africa, the situation with 3D printing is not developing so fast.

3D printer from OpenHardware

Peter van der Walt is the owner of OpenHardware, which manufactures and sells various 3D printers (RepRaps), CNC machines, spare parts and other electronics. Also, they are the only organization in South Africa that promotes open source hardware. After two years selling printers like RepRap, Printrbots, Ecksbots, Prusa Airs and Morgans, Van der Walt decided it was time for a change. He decided to take advantage of other technologies at his disposal and create a printer that would be more affordable and easier to manufacture. nine0003

“The most pressing issue here in South Africa is cost. A set of stainless steel threaded rods for a Prusa-style frame costs at least $25, while a set of 3D printed parts costs about $50. Whereas a laser-cut steel frame and CNC-bent and powder-coated (with the savings of high volume production) is cheaper,” says Van der Walt. “So you get a frame that is as strong as stone, perfectly square in all directions, and easily reproducible on both small and large scales.” nine0003

So van der Walt and his team set out to design a 3D printer that was both well made and affordable. Deciding to use sheet metal, CNC machines and a laser cutter, they created an extremely durable and reliable 3D printer, and found one way to reduce the cost of building traditional RepRaps. After working hard on their task, the team created not one, but three different 3D printers. They are all the same design, but different sizes. nine0003

The 100 x 100 x 100 mm build volume version (actually a little larger), currently called "Babybot" and yet to be officially named, will sell for less than ZAR5000 (around $500) .

The medium size version, ZAR7250 will feature a build volume of 200 x 200 x 200 mm. The price for it will be about $725. The largest version will have a build volume of 200 x 200 x 300 mm and cost around ZAR9000 (~$900).

Regarding some of the specifications for these new printers, van der Walt said they will print layer heights of 0.1 to 0.3mm, at a speed of about 80mm/sec. In terms of resolution, the team assured that it would be the same as most standard FDM printers.

Van der Walt plans to begin accepting pre-orders for these printers on his website this month. He also plans to send demos of the printers to other retail stores in South Africa, such as Communica and Pretoria University Workspace. Soon, these retailers will also be selling printers. nine0003

Although van der Walt plans to initially sell these printers only in South Africa, he said that, subject to demand, he would consider working with partners in the US and UK.

Do you think you would buy one of these extremely durable printers for $500? Leave your comments on this subject right below the article.

South Africa invented a 3D printer to turn ugly vegetables into attractive food

06/13/2018

Let's remember how you choose vegetables or fruits in the grocery store, what do you pay attention to? Isn't it true that you try to choose the most beautiful fruits, avoiding those that have spots or a strange configuration? This is exactly what so many people do, and this is what leads to a huge amount of food waste, as unattractive products are left on the shelf until they completely spoil

For example, food waste is a huge problem in the United States - the USDA estimates that 30 to 40 percent of the nation's food supply goes to waste. By the way, some substandard fruits do not end up in supermarkets at all, because companies believe that customers will not buy them. Even in not the richest countries in the world, this problem is relevant.

Here are some statistics for South Africa:

• Approximately 30% of edible fruit and vegetable crops are screened for sale simply because of their appearance.
• 44% of all products sent for scrap are fruits and vegetables. Also, 26% of grain, 15% of meat and 13% of root crops, tubers and oilseeds fall into the waste.
• In the South African food supply chain, 26% of food waste comes from agricultural production, 26% from post-harvest processing and storage, 27% from processing and packaging, 17% from distribution and retail, 4% from consumer level. nine0066

These facts were taken into account by the young company Studio H, which was developing a food printer in South Africa.

To demonstrate what can be done with a printer, Studio H collected ugly fruits and vegetables rejected by supermarkets and customers, processed them into puree, and then 3D printed them in an attractive way.
