Exton, PA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Additive manufacturing, more popularly known as 3D printing, has existed since the mid-1980s, but it has not received much attention until quite recently. Why the sudden surge in popularity for this decades old technology? The reason is that in the past few years, innovative 3D printer manufacturers have developed and brought to market new, affordable, user-friendly machines, putting the technology in the hands of consumers. The Afinia H-Series 3D printer is perhaps the best example of these new 3D printers, earning “Best Overall Experience,” “Easiest to Setup” and “Easiest to Use” distinctions in Make magazine’s 3D printer buyers‘ guide. Excited to bring 3D printing technology to its customers, Media Supply, Inc., a leading supplier of data, video and archival publishing solutions, announced the immediate availability of Afinia’s H-Series 3D Printer.
Priced at only $1,599, the Afinia H-Series 3D Printer provides a true “Out of the Box 3D Printing Experience”, as the 3D printer comes fully assembled, with simple setup and easy-to-install software for both PC and Mac. The one-page Quick Start Guide allows even novice users to jump right into printing. While its ease of use is ideal for beginners, the Afinia’s superior print quality and reliability makes it an excellent choice for professionals, as well. At about 10” x 10” x 14” and 11 pounds, the Afinia 3D printer is portable, affordable, and will deliver great looking 3D prints right out of the box.
“With years of experience with production printers and their accessories at Media Supply, we’re excited about expanding our offering to include the Afinia,” said Jonathan Bradlee, Media Supply’s President. “We’re thrilled to introduce this ground-breaking product to our customer base, and show them 3D printing is not only a reality, but a real and affordable business tool.”
The Afinia H-Series can prototype a part or model up to 5 inches cubed in dimension, and its output is accurate to within 0.15mm (6 thousands of an inch). The Afinia’s 3D printer software will import .STL files created with your CAD/CAM software, and automatically generates any physical support material that your design requires for the print process. The Afinia H-Series connects to your PC or Mac with a USB cable. When printing, the Afinia stores the print job in its onboard memory, so laptop users are free to unplug the USB cable and go about their business.
The Afinia 3D H-Series printer, 3D printer filament and accessories are available on Media Supply’s 3D printing page, where you can also find standard, neon and glow ABS filament. Accessories for 3D printing are available as well, including replacement platforms, knife sets and calipers.
