\nYSoft 3D printers<\/a> utilize the world\u2019s most popular three-dimensional printing method, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). The be3D eDee printer<\/a> was manufactured by YSoft and designed by the company\u2019s creative director, Martin \u017dampach<\/a>.
\n
\n\"YSoft\u017dampach chose Dibond aluminum composite material for the printer\u2019s lightweight enclosure. He explains, \u201cI have found Dibond is the best material to use in this case because it is lighter, cheaper, and easier to process than aluminum sheets.\u201d Additionally 3A Composites Graphic Display\u2019s extensive color offering allowed the designer to choose a color without needing specialty or custom options.
\n
\n\"YSoftInterestingly, this was \u017dampach\u2019s first experience utilizing Dibond but praises the material on its price point and surface finish. As a product designer, committed to design, developing and prototyping, he was responsible for choosing the production materials for the printers he designed. Studying Dibond\u2019s processing possibilities, he was able to come up with the YSoft be3D eDee\u2019s design.
\n
\nThe eDee printer is a unique application, but the choice of utilizing aluminum composite for its composition is discernible when discussing the technology associated with three-dimensional printing. 3D printing requires melting plastic filaments at high temperatures while simultaneously depositing plastic coatings in minuscule layers, creating the model. If the exterior design had utilized basic sheet aluminum, the printer could potentially overheat. Similar to its use in the lighting industry, Dibond\u2019s polyethylene core allows for higher temperature exposure.

\nWhat makes the be3D so unique is it is, \u201c\u2026the first 3D printer for education with print management features and a comprehensive accounting system to manage and recover 3D printing costs. School administrators have a centralized view of all 3D printers on the network with full audit control. Schools can now have a seamless solution for managing both 2D and 3D printers \u2013 an industry first.\u201d
