Alta 3D Printer

What is 3D printing?

3D printing is the method used to transform a digital model into a tangible 3D object. In this process, the digital model undergoes preparation for 3D printing through a technique known as slicing within specialized 3D printing software. During the slicing process, the software dissects the printing procedure into individual layers. Upon completion of slicing, the software transmits the information to the 3D printer. The 3D printer, in turn, utilizes a plastic material referred to as filament. This filament is heated, allowing the printer to deposit one thin layer of melted filament at a time, following the specifications from the sliced digital model. As each layer of filament cools down, the 3D object gradually takes shape. This sequential layering process continues until the entire object is successfully printed, resulting in a completed and tangible 3D representation of the initially designed digital model.

Why should you consider the Silhouette Alta® Plus?

The Silhouette Alta Plus offers a convenient solution for those new to 3D printing. Unlike many other 3D printers on the market, it comes preassembled and precalibrated, eliminating the need for users to assemble it themselves. This feature allows for a hassle-free plug-and-play experience right out of the box, making it an excellent choice for first-time users. The entire package, including all necessary components, is included in the purchase at a competitive price of $349.99.

Moreover, the Silhouette Alta® purchase includes the Silhouette 3D™ software, providing users with a comprehensive tool to customize and prepare their 3D designs for printing. What sets this software apart is its all-in-one functionality, allowing users to both design and slice their objects within a single software interface. This integrated approach simplifies the 3D printing process, a notable advantage compared to systems that require separate software for design and slicing. Overall, the Silhouette Alta Plus offers a user-friendly and cost-effective entry into the world of 3D printing.
