AALBORG, Denmark, July 2, 2015 – Create it REAL, the Danish 3D printing technology provider, and WEISTEK, a leading Chinese 3D printer manufacturer announce their partnership to develop a super-fast desktop 3D Printer.
The first project coming out of this strategic partnership will be the IdeaWerk Speed, the first consumer oriented 3D printer boosted by Create it REAL platform, going 3 to 10 times faster than current printers in that segment. Behind this project, there is a common vision: to give access to 3D printing to everybody and enable creativity. 3D printing should be easy, fun and allow people to create all their ideas.
The IdeaWerk Speed 3D printer
“We were looking for a consumer brand that could offer a reliable 3D printer, easy to setup, safe and capable of handling the high speed and high accelerations generated by our technology,” says Jeremie Pierre Gay, CEO of Create it REAL. “WEISTEK is a strong brand in China and has received very good feedback on its IdeaWerk Plus in the USA and Europe so far. Our technology was targeting business customers at first, where speed and reliability is key, but we have found a way to offer it to consumers who will now be able to enjoy high performances, too.”
Vicky Chen, CEO of WEISTEK commented: “Our engineers were impressed by Create it REAL technology: the flexibility, the reliability and of course, the performances made it obvious for us to work together.”
She added, “3D printers early adopter are excited about what such technology can do for them, but they are also disappointed by the time it takes to print even small objects and the complexity of the process. With the IdeaWerk Speed, we hope to prove to them that 3D printing is easy, fun and fast, too.”
