At last year’s CES we were taken by surprise by a 3D printing company called XYZprinting and the size of their stand for what we first thought was a 3D printing start-up. As it turned out this wasn’t just a little company trying their hand at a cut-price extrusion-based 3D printer, this was the latest venture of one of the worlds leading OEMs – Kinpo Group.
XYZ clearly see CES as the show to launch new products as walking past their stand we’ve counted nine, yes nine, lines of technology on their stand five of which are 3D printers including; their DaVinci series of FDM printers;
da Vinci AiO 1.0
The DaVinci Jr priced astonishingly at $349;

their SLA printer – Noble;

some sort of plant cultivating device called XYZfarming;

a large 3D printer-looking machine we can’t put our finger on (until tomorrow);

some wearable tech; an iPad Robot; and intriguingly a printer called XYZprinting 3D Jet, which looks potentially like a Objet-type machine.

This machine at the centre of their stand is an Objet-like machine
From tomorrow we’ll be able to prise more information out of the quite secretive Taiwanese company but certainly the piquing our interest, and no doubt that of Stratasys, is that 3D Jet.
