The Cube doesn't come complete with creation software - that's an additional cost - but does include 25 free 3D files designed by professional artists to get you started. Teacups, chess pieces, Lego parts, jewellery, dinosaurs, the list is endless if your imagination is. That might sound small but that still gives you plenty of options to make things that you can use to litter your home with.
That's a maximum 140mm tall, deep and wide. Within that price bracket there's a limitation to the size of an object that you can create - anything within a cubic 140mm square, hence the name.
Fun stuff.Īt £1200 it is still expensive, though, but that's about as cheap as you can buy at the moment. The Cubify 3D is available in Silver, White, Magenta, Blue or Green finishes - rather than the boring beige standard - for a bit of added personality. It sits taller than a standard paper printer too, but takes up about the same amount of desk space. It looks a bit like a sewing machine in some respects - not like a standard printer. It is fairly small and can easily be put on your desk in an office. While you can get industrial-sized 3D printers that are the size of a cupboard and are used by the likes of Microsoft to design the Xbox One, the Cube is a lot more suited to a home user or someone starting out. The material comes out of a cartridge hot, but quickly dries into a hard resin and the printing plinth moves up and down accordingly as it builds up those layers. Printer ink this isn't - ABS is the same material used by Lego. Once it's got the instructions, the Cubify gets to work building up your object by printing fine layers of PLA or ABS materials on top of each other.
