“yes, I like to experiment with unusual 3D Printer designs!”
At Lumi Industries, we are Maker inside, so beside our daily activities, our CEO Davide Marin likes to play with technology and try to give his contribution, to the Maker Community.
Lumibee project totally follows Lumi Industries’ philosophy: to make 3D photosensitive resin printing affordable and available to a larger public which might really include makers, hobbyists, students or just curious people!
FROM LUMIFOLD TO LUMIBEE
We started working on portable 3D printers way in 2013 with LumiFold. Two years later a company interested in having portable solution for doctors and dentists in developing countries approached us. The idea was, for them to be able to travel with the 3D printer in their suitcase and allowing them to help their patients, fabricating 3D parts on the spot. Later the company stepped back and we decided to (slowly) take this idea to the stage of a working prototype, as a side project. In 2015 we patented the idea of an innovative mechanical system to make a 3D printer thinner than its printing volume. In 2018 we presented the New LumiFold TB prototype, an ultra compact 3D printer, based on our patent solution, working with an iPad 3 mini and Photocentric daylight resins. This prototype has been showcased in several international fairs and expos receiving a lot of interest and it is currently waiting for partners or sponsors to be further developed.
This expertise we gained in daylight resin 3D printing took us to LumiBee Project!
