Airwolf's EVO R promises advanced features in a more accessible package.
California-based 3D printer manufacturer Airwolf 3D has unveiled its latest desktop machine, the EVO R, which is said to deliver the company’s “premium technology” in a more compact, affordable package.
Designed with engineers, educators and designers in mind, the EVO R offers many of the same features found in previous EVO models, including a large touch screen, HEPA/Active Carbon filter, 32-bit GENESIS micro-controller, linear guides, and high-temperature capabilities, at a more accessible price point of 4,995 USD.
With a build size of 12 x 8.75 x 9 inches, Airwolf says the machine is ideal for prototyping, tooling and even production applications, while its ease-of-use is believed to make the EVO R a “perfect school 3D printer”.
Additional features include auto-levelling, aluminium construction, CNC-machined hot ends, one-piece steel bed, and a Teflon-sheathed communication cord. To ensure safe operation, the heated bed incorporates a temperature-sensitive fuse to protect against overheating, hot end heaters are capped at approximately 25 watts, and its enclosed structure, Hepa and Carbon air filters, and air circulation fan have been designed to minimise emissions.
Speaking about this latest hardware offering and bold ambitions for the educational market, Airwolf 3D Co-Founder and CEO Erick Wolf commented: “Professionals want an affordable, multi-material, dual extrusion 3D printer they can depend on. The EVO R is the answer, embodying nearly all the premium EVO and EVO 22 features in an affordable package made right here in California. Our vision is to have Airwolf printers in more than half the educational institutions in The United States. To meet this goal we streamlined the EVO R for domestic mass production.”
