Just when you thought that faxing was the dinosaur technology of the past the Zeus 3D printer steps in to revolutionize. This new machine by AIO Robotics is an all in one; printer, scanner, copier and 3D fax machine. You read it right 3D Fax! Instead of connecting to computers, learning 3D modeling software packages, building models and printing you can plug in and recieve a 3D print right away.
With Zeus, AIO Robotics is clearly aiming at consumers who may not be as tech savvy as the early adopters of 3D printing technology, but still want to be a part of the revolution.
The fax function of the Zues is simply a remote version of its copying function, which in turn is a combo of scanning and printing. When you select fax, Zeus scans the object to be copied then sends the 3D file to another Zeus printer via the Internet. The receiving Zeus printer will be the one to print the copy of the object, just like with a faxed document. This will allow the ‘noninitiated’ to recieve faxed models and get started printing right away.
Pledge at least $1,999 (USD) on Kickstarter to get a Zeus 3D printer as a reward.
