A fairly common occurrence was the development of 3D printers by companies with certain industry experience, albeit having a superficial relationship directly to 3D printing. At one time, Leapfrog, a Dutch flexographic company, took on the production of desktop printers and achieved significant success. Daegun Tech, Hewlett Packard and other companies are trying their hand. Another example is the Italian Gimax 3D, a subsidiary of the company TAIP Automation, which produces specialized water heaters. Interestingly, Gimax 3D primarily creates printers for itself, since TAIP has recently been trying to achieve diversification by participating in the automotive industry, the production of refrigeration units and robotic packaging machines. Of course, the development of new equipment is facilitated by rapid prototyping - hence the desire to have a 3D printer that perfectly suits the requirements of the company. On the other hand, there are quite a lot of companies such as TAIP in the world, which means that it is possible to offer a 3D printer for sale to enterprises with similar needs. The first Gimax3D 3D printing unit, dubbed Standard 1.0, was proposed last March. Now, the company offers the evolutionary Standard 2.0 model, aimed at more professional users. With a weight of 78 kg, a width of 90 cm and a height of 120 cm, this is not so much a custom desktop printer as a small industrial installation. The main advantage of Standard 2.0 can be considered a large area of ??construction, reaching 400x400x400 mm or 25 liters. The device has an aluminum case, a heated platform and demonstrates an enviable print speed: 200 mm / s, which is very good for an FDM printer. The range of consumables consists of ABS, PLA, nylon, polystyrene and filaments with special fillers (Laywoo-D3, BronzeFill, etc.). A bar with a diameter of 1.75 mm is fed to a double extruder. The nozzle diameter can vary from 0.2 to 0.8 mm, and the minimum layer thickness reaches 60 microns. The unit is equipped with a control module with an LCD display that allows printing from SD memory cards. Prato, where TAIP and Gimax3D are based, is going through hard times from an economic point of view. Local companies have to look for ways to reduce costs, optimize production and reduce development and prototyping periods. Gimax Standard 2.0 is designed specifically to solve these problems, especially the latter.
