re:3D has recently included UltiMachine’s ArchiMajor 32bit control board and transition to Klipper firmware with the launch of Gigabot 4, Terabot 4, GigabotX 2, and TerabotX 2.
re:3D was born out of Engineers Without Borders, at the NASA Johnson Space Center, in 2013. It is a social enterprise pioneering innovations to remove the cost and scale barriers to 3D printing in order to create jobs and enable problem-solvers around the world to independently address local needs. re:3D has customers in more than 50 countries, and claims to offer the world’s largest industrial FFF 3D printer under $9K.

How the Formlabs Automation Ecosystem will eliminate downtime: Form Auto is a hardware extension for the Form 3/B/+ printers that automatically removes finished parts from Build Platform 2 and starts the next print without the need for operator interaction. It can be purchased separately, or as part of a new printer package for current and new customers. Fleet Control is a suite of newly available, advanced features in PreForm and Dashboard that facilitate easier management of multiple 3D printers with centralized queue management and automatic printer assignment. The High Volume Resin System is a 5L Resin Bag and Resin Pump that expands the standard resin capacity of a Formlabs SLA printer, reduces waste, and minimizes cartridge handling tasks.
