The origin of Origin’s 3D printed nasal swabs — San Francisco company Origin is one of a handful of 3D printing companies that set out to develop and mass produce 3D printed nasopharyngeal testing swabs for COVID-19 diagnosis. This effort was a direct response to a lack of conventional swabs; stores of the traditional swabs, only produced by a select group of companies around the globe, were rapidly depleted as countries around the world ramped up COVID-19 testing.

"budget" metal powder 3D laser printer
News
metal powder compositions costing only half a Gelendvagen (we used to measure in Rolls-Royces).
One Click Metal is, in fact, a subsidiary of the well-known German engineering company Trumpf, which is also engaged in the production of industrial additive installations. The startup entered the market in 2019showcasing the first version of a PBF 3D printer of its own design called MPRINT at Formnext.
The company is trying to find a specific niche, namely the production of low-cost additive systems for 3D printing with metal powders. Budget is a relative concept, but shortly before the premiere, One Click Metal CEO Bjorn Ullman estimated the cost at fifty thousand euros. In fact, the original 3D printers cost about that much, while the upgraded systems are offered for one and a half times more, but still much cheaper than most competitive offers ranging from a quarter to half a million dollars. nine0003
The updated MPRINT+ model differs from the original in a number of improvements aimed primarily at improving performance and resolution. The 3D printer is equipped with a more powerful 200-watt fiber laser compared to the 100-watt in the original version. With the positioning system, not everything is clear yet. The fact is that the original used a moving head with a diode laser from Trumpf - imagine your FDM 3D printer, but with an engraving laser nozzle on steroids. We have already seen something similar on the XM200 and XM300 3D printers of the American company Xact Metal.
nine0003
The new system allegedly uses a galvanometric scanning system that provides hatching speeds up to 3 m/s. Ullman at one time argued that a radical reduction in the cost of equipment became possible precisely due to the development of his own, relatively inexpensive scanner, so that a noticeable price jump can be fully explained by the transition to a more complex and expensive, but at the same time faster and more accurate galvanoscanner, if such the transition actually took place. Xact Metal, by the way, did just that, a year after the premiere, remaking the XM200 into the XM200S. nine0003
The spot diameter is 45 microns versus 100 microns for the original MPRINT, the layer thickness is set within 20-80 microns, the size of the construction area is 150x150x150 mm, and the density of finished products reaches 99.5%. Printing is carried out in a sealed chamber with a protective nitrogen atmosphere, which allows you to work with active metals and alloys.
