Editor’s Note
Solidscape has unveiled its new Muse 3D printer, a sub-$15,000 system utilizing wax jet technology for high-resolution printing (25.4 μm layers) and simplified post-processing with melt-away supports.
The 3D printing company Solidscape has introduced its new wax 3D printer, Muse, in a LinkedIn post. The 3D printing system costs less than $15,000 and is based on Solidscape’s wax jet technology. It is said to enable a layer thickness of 25.4 μm. The use of melt-away supports allows for easier post-processing of parts without auxiliary tools.
The Muse 3D printer has a build volume of 76.2 x 76.2 x 47.7 mm and can produce jewelry in smaller offices or studios. Muse operates slower and is smaller than Solidscape’s more expensive machines. The ModelWorks software can automatically prepare CAD files for 3D printing and generate support structures.
With Muse, Solidscape aims to make wax 3D printing accessible to smaller customers. Jewelers should thus be able to purchase 3D printers for their own production. Muse enables work on jewelry pieces with low operating costs to transform the workflow. Even beginners should be able to start working immediately, as Muse is designed to be a very user-friendly 3D printer. From CAD to casting, the Muse 3D printer is intended to deliver flawless details and high accuracy. Cloud connectivity allows tracking print jobs from anywhere.
