| Key Specification |
Scalable to 18" bed size using the 8 mm Universal Axis, and scalable to 4x4x8 foot size using the 1" Universal Axis. |
|---|
| Construction |
Steel frame with 3D printed corners are used to hang the Universal Axis. Steel-plastic assemblies are used throughout, using 3D printed plastic for complex geometries and steel for strength. |
|---|
| Productivity |
Best-in-class heatbed for speed of heating and temperature (up to 187C). Best-in-class extruder for print speed using rubber (in addition to thermoplastics). Current productivity is 5 lb/24 hr print rate per print head. Features ready scalability to 20 lb/day print rate using the Supervolcano Nozzle. Features scalability to 4-9 print heads for an 80-180 lb/day print rate. |

|
Project began in 2016 with the Universal Axis, is in production as of October 2018. Production engineering is currently being refined. See 3D Printer Genealogy and Status of Completion for overview of 3D printer and the GVCS in general. Current production models are D3D Universal 2 and D3D Pro v20.07. Next steps are product releases of D3D Pro 2 (12" print bed) and D3D Pro 3 (18" print bed), as well as developing the 4x4x8" 3D printer + OSE Shredder + OSE Filament Maker to solve the plastic waste issue. OSE's solution is distributed production of construction materials such as plastic lumber and other large objects from waste plastic feedstocks, with a print rate of up to 180 lb/printer/day. |
