A new 3D printer is taking Kickstarter by storm and
has already raised over US$ 370,000 thanks to over 700 backers with still 29 days
remaining on its campaign, reaching its required pledge goal in under one
minute. The IVI closed loop 3D printer has been specifically designed to
provide an easy way to achieve high resolution 3D printing, laser engraving and
CNC carving. Early bird pledges are available
from US$ 299 with worldwide shipping expected to start sometime around October
2019.
“IVI achieves
a staggering 15-micron/0.015 mm XYZ accuracy. Even when the print head is
traveling at 300 mm/s, its repeatability is kept within 10 microns/0.01 mm.
Along with phenomenal accuracy, IVI utilizes a closed-loop control system. This
exclusive technology ensures unparalleled repeatability and reliability. Even
projects requiring extended print times (our famous Superman print was over 118
hours) are completed flawlessly.”
“Instead of a standard 1.8° stepper motor, IVI uses
a 0.9° motor with twice the precision. Ordinary 3D printers stick to 1.8°. The
100 rotor teeth in the 0.9° motor is double the 50 of a standard 1.8° motor. As
a result, the smallest step rotation becomes 0.9°, which is half that of the
1.8° motor. This significantly improves fineness and accuracy.”

available pledge options jump over to the official Kickstarter crowdfunding
campaign page which is now underway.
