Generative AI used to create wild new 3D printer design — exotic collaboration brings 5-axis 3D printing to the desktop

A collaboration between Generative Machine and Aibuild has led to the creation of the GenerationOne 5-axis 3D printer, featuring a unique design with organic tendrils for support. This printer offers a build volume of around 140 x 180mm, automatic leveling, and uses off-the-shelf components. It primarily prints PLA and PETG filaments, focusing on mainstream materials rather than exotic options. The 5-axis system allows for non-conformal printing, enhancing strength and enabling complex geometries without support structures. The printer will be showcased at the Formnext Expo and Convention in November, with details on pricing and availability still limited.
