Hyrel 3D
Hyrel 3D is a suburban Atlanta, GA company which manufactures 3D Printers for home, office and industrial settings. Hyrel 3D machines use fused deposition modeling to create three-dimensional solid or hollow objects from a digital model, which can be designed or produced from a scan.[1]
History
Hyrel 3D was conceived when a team of engineers bought a 3D printer to prototype parts, and decided they had the expertise to do better.[1]
The company sought initial backing through a Kickstarter campaign, launched on September 6, 2012, which received over 300% of the $50,000.00 funding goal.[2][3][4]
Products
Hyrel 3D offers two models of printer: the Engine, with an open build space; and the System, with an enclosed build area and filtration system. Both feature an embedded PC, touchscreen, approximately 8x8x8" build area with heated build platform, and modular print heads linked via Canbus.[5]
