fabWeaver Type A530 3D Printer

3D printing technology is standardised across the sector. fabWeaver aims to stand out for design quality and meticulous detailing, setting a benchmark in 3D printing. At the project's outset, design concepts were derived from insight research to solve pain-points and unmet needs of users of large 3D printers. A challenge for the design was to express ‘operational reliability' and ‘simplicity in-use’, which are factors largely missing from existing 3D printers. To become a game-changing choice for schools to industries alike, the product needed to deliver the highest levels of plug-and-print reliability and repeatable accuracy, delivered at an affordable price.

The fabWeaver delivers reliability and simplicity in-use through its discreet ‘Worktop’ that can be used for effortless part handling. Unlike traditional printers with small screen interfaces, the whole front face of the fabWeaver printer is an intuitive LED indicator that communicates with its user from afar. Allowing people to manage operations while getting on with other important tasks. The large glass door was engineered to improve print accessibility and visibility, all whilst maintaining optimal printing temperatures within the heated chamber and being safe to touch. The 7-inch touchscreen with a bespoke GUI was also positioned for easy interaction.

The user-friendly design of fabWeaver Type A350 encourages the wider introduction of premium 3D printers delivering a revolution in the way people work cooperatively with machines. The diagonal side panel design expresses a premium quality but also reduces the environmental impact as the machine is built to last. Ergonomic shaping of the handles expresses fine attention to detail and improves usability, which is often overlooked in industrial equipment. Every aspect of design answers to growing user demands for industrial equipment that goes beyond basic utility and instead enhances the workspace experience, with high levels of personalisation to suit user preferences.

The fabWeaverTM Type A530 gives companies access to affordable, industrial-grade 3D printing, allowing businesses to work faster through iteration processes and conduct part verification effortlessly and reliably through its user-focused design. The large double-glassed door was engineered to improve print accessibility and visibility, all whilst maintaining printing temperatures within the heated chamber and being safe to touch. The Type A530 is designed to accelerate the adoption of 3D printing by helping organizations create strong, high-quality parts at a low total cost of ownership. Generating a part takes a fraction of the time with its dual-nozzle printing, 310 x 310 x 310 mm build size, and printing speeds of 200 mm/s, allowing users to print their designs to high quality, fast. Beyond its premium appearance, the machine’s enhanced software makes the 3D printer intuitive and understandable. Bespoke designed GUI is simple and easy-to-use, ensuring a pleasurable experience during operation. The ambient LED around the door, enhanced interactivity with the user. and integration of the Weaver3 Studio and Weaver 3 cloud/mobile software allow seamless control from anywhere, with remote management, slice, and print capabilities.
