Rhino industrial grade 3d printer


Rhino 3D Printer, An Industrial Printer at a Consumer-level Price, Hits Kickstarter - 3DPrint.com

Without a doubt their is an overwhelming number of 3D printers which have come to market over the last couple of years, leading many potential buyers to have to face quite a difficult decision; determining which printer has the best bang for their buck.

Usually when a company launches a new 3D printer on a crowdfunding platform like Indiegogo or Kickstarter, they try to appeal to backers by presenting an incredibly cheap machine, or one that stands out from the rest because of its features and capabilities. What one Toronto Canada-based company, Monirad Robotics Inc. has managed to do though, with the launch of their Kickstarter campaign this week, is quite remarkable. They’ve presented an extremely affordable 3D printer which also is incredibly robust and feature-packed.

The company, which was launched back in September of last year by a group of engineers and scientists, seems to have a clear understanding of what the consumer desires. The team seeks to raise $50,000 by March 20th so that they can commence production of their Rhino 3D Printer.

“About a year ago while working as a designer, I printed many prototypes on different 3D printers with price ranges from 500 to 10,000$,” explained Mohsen Chamanirad, founder of Monirad Robotics. “Unfortunately the low cost printers were not reliable, they were slower and since the temperature of the print area was not controlled the parts lacked consistency and durability. Even though the industrial grade one was faster, precise and reliable, it was expensive and had a small print area. This motivated us to design Rhino, an industrial grade, all metal chassis and extruder, 3D printer with ability to control temperature of print area.”

What sets this machine apart from the pack is several key features. First, the frame (or chassis) of the printer is constructed out of solid metal (80% aluminum, 20% steel). This means that the printer can function at rapid speeds without much vibration. Additionally they have added an all-metal extruder, capable of reaching temperatures as high as 300 degrees Celsius, allowing for compatibility with a whole slew of important materials ranging from PLA to Polycarbonate.

The company has also paid special attention to two other incredibly important aspects of any 3D printer, the build platform, and the build chamber. They’ve used a sturdy aluminum build platform, which is capable of distributing heat evenly throughout the entire print area. Additionally they are using a closed loop controller which regulates the temperature within the build chamber. These two features equate to a much more controlled environment for all your print projects. Further specifications of the Rhino can be found below:

  • Printer Size: 23″ x 18″ x 21″
  • Build Envelope: 12″ x 10″ x 10″ (L x W x H)
  • Layer Resolution: 80 Microns
  • Print Speed: up to 180mm/s
  • Printer Weight: 40lb
  • Filament Size and Compatibility: PLA, ABS, Nylon, Polycabonate (Plexiglass ),HDPE at 1. 75mm
  • Nozzle Diameter: 0.4mm
  • Heated Bed: removable 1/4″ Aluminum Sheet
  • Heater: 1000W, 110V (operated with a solid state relay)

With all these features, you’d expect a price of well over $1000, but incredibly it’s priced well under that. The fully assembled Rhino 3D Printer is available to ‘Early Bird’ backers starting at just $490. If you are a DIY enthusiast, the price gets even cheaper. The unassembled Rhino kit is available to ‘Early Bird’ backers for just $390. Those who back the project can expect to receive their printers sometime in June of this year should the campaign be fully funded.

Rhino is a commercial-grade 3D printer at a consumer-friendly price | Atmel


Rhino is an industrial grade 3D printer with a heated chamber and all-metal chassis.


While it seems like inexpensive, easy-to-use 3D printers are a dime a dozen these days, one Toronto-based startup is looking to set itself apart from the pack by offering an affordable yet extremely robust device. Created by Monirad Robotics, the Rhino 3D Printer boasts a number of features not typically seen in machines of its category.

“Unfortunately the low cost printers were not reliable, they were slower and since the temperature of the print area was not controlled the parts lacked consistency and durability. Even though the industrial grade one was faster, precise and reliable, it was expensive and had a small print area.  This motivated us to design Rhino, an industrial grade, all-metal chassis and extruder, 3D printer with ability to control temperature of print area,” explains Mohsen Chamanirad, Monirad Robotics CEO.

The frame of the printer is comprised entirely out of solid metal (80% aluminum, 20% steel), which allows for it to function at rapid speeds while maintaining accuracy due to limited vibrations. Additionally, the Rhino is equipped with an all-metal, durable extruder that is capable of printing a wide-range of materials, ranging from PLA to polycarbonate, at temperatures of to 300°C.

The company has also paid special attention to the device’s build platform and chamber — two notable components of any printer. In doing so, the Rhino features a sturdy, 1/4” thick aluminum build platform which is capable of distributing heat evenly throughout the entire print area. Cognizant of the importance of controlled temperatures throughout the printing process, the device is embedded with a closed loop controller that is tasked with regulating the temperature of the print volume.

  • Printer size: 23″ x 18″ x 21″
  • Print area: 12″ x 10″ x 10″
  • Printer weight: 18kg (40 lbs)
  • Layer resolution: 80 microns
  • Maximum print speed: 180mm/sec
  • Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm
  • Filament type: PLA, ABS, Nylon, Polycabonate, HDPE (1.75mm)

Interested? Head over to the Rhino 3D Printer’s official Kickstarter page, where its team is currently seeking $50,000. If all goes to plan, shipment to early bird backers is expected to begin in May 2015, with regular delivery set for June 2015.

$390 Rhino Industrial 3D Printer Hits Kickstarter

News

Last September, a group of Canadian engineers and scientists founded Monirad Robotics Inc., which is already ready to make a name for itself. This week, she launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $50,000 by March 20 to build a reliable, affordable Rhino 3D printer.

“About a year ago, when I was working as a designer, I had the opportunity to print prototypes on various 3D printers ranging from $500 to $10,000,” recalls Mohsen Hamanirad, founder of Monirad Robotics. – As it turned out, cheap printers are unreliable, they work slowly, and the products are fragile and of poor quality, because the user does not have the ability to control the temperature of the printing platform. Industrial printers are faster, more reliable, and more accurate, but they have a small footprint and are exorbitantly priced. All of this inspired us to create a Rhino industrial 3D printer with a temperature-controlled printbed, with an all-metal extruder and frame.

Rhino has a number of features that you immediately notice. First, its frame is made of solid metal (80% aluminium, 20% steel). This means that the printer does not vibrate when printing at high speed. In addition, its extruder is also completely made of metal and is able to withstand temperatures up to 300 ° C, i.e. The printer can print a wide variety of materials, ranging from PLA to polycarbonate.

Special attention has also been paid to the print platform and build chamber. They decided to make the platform out of aluminum so that the heat is evenly distributed over the entire surface. They also used a feedback controller to regulate the temperature inside the working chamber. Thus, users have much more control over the printing process. Rhino's main technical specifications are listed below:

  • Printer dimensions: 58 cm x 45 cm x 53
  • Working volume: 30 cm x 25 cm x 25 cm
  • Print resolution: 80 microns
  • Print speed: up to 180 mm/sec
  • Printer weight: 180 kg
  • Media: PLA, ABS, Nylon, Polycabonate (Plexiglass), HDPE; filament thickness 1. 75 mm
  • Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm
  • Heated print platform: Removable, aluminum, 6 mm thick
  • Heating element: 1000 W, 110 V (solid state relay operated)

With all of the above features, this printer should cost at least $1,000. Hold on to the chairs! A fully assembled Rhino 3D printer will cost only $490 to first backers! If you want to build it yourself, then you only have to pay $390! If the campaign is successful, the first printers will go to their owners as early as June this year.
