3D printing and laser engraving have been popular among hobbyists and professionals alike. But having both functionalities in one machine is a game-changer. The Snapmaker Artisan 3-in-1 3D printer with enclosure is the latest 3D printer and laser engraver plus a CNC engraver. This all-metal machine is larger, stronger, and more accessible than its predecessors, making it a desktop powerhouse.
Honored with the CES 2023 Innovation Award, the Snapmaker Artisan is one of the two 3D printers to win this prestigious award. Priced at €3,299, it is a worthy investment for anyone who wants to create big or multiple objects without worrying about limited space.
The Snapmaker Artisan features a larger work area of 400mm x 400mm x 400mm, which means you can create bigger projects. The ultra-wide 7-inch touchscreen makes operation more intuitive, and the UI design smoother. The printer is also faster and more precise, with a printing speed of 180mm/s and a dimensional accuracy of ±0.1mm.
Swapping tool heads and platforms is fast and easy with Artisan. The Dual Extrusion 3D Printing Module has a motor built-in that lifts and shifts between two extruders without extra tool head movement or switch toggling.
The CNC module has a power output increase of 300% and 50% in maximum spindle speed compared to the Snapmaker 2.0. This makes the CNC machining six times faster on the hardwood like beech. The high-rigidity linear modules and high-speed spindle allow the CNC module to carve or cut smoothly on various materials with a dimensional accuracy of up to 0.2 mm.
The latest 10W Laser Module of the Artisan makes laser cutting and engraving more powerful and faster than ever before. It can cut through wood as thick as 8mm in a single pass and engrave at a speed of 6000mm/min. This is 8 times faster than the 1.6W Laser Module. The laser module also features a 10W high power and an ultra-fine laser focus of 0.05mm x 0.2mm, which results in high-quality laser works with impeccable details.
Snapmaker Luban is an all-in-one CAM solution tailor-made software that provides a concise and easy-to-follow configuration workflow of 3D printing and laser and CNC machining. It has practical printing modes, and you can access the underlying parameters to have full control of the machining process.
This 3D printer costs €3.299, and it is worth every penny. The machine inherits Snapmaker's signature all-metal design, and the upgraded one-piece die-cast base plate makes it steady as a rock, even during high-speed CNC machining. The Artisan empowers you to create big or multiple objects without worrying about limited space.
