Testimonial: Radiographer Ethan Broadway

Ethan Broadway is a Radiographer with Edumation who works with a company that has developed a synthetic bone graft substitute.  Ethan’s quest was to determine a better way to show potential clients how their product performed after surgery, other than using CT scans.

Ethan has followed 3D Printing for a few years, beginning with some of the popular kits available at the time.  As an amateur astronomer, he knew that a desktop 3D printer would be a good way to create parts to improve his designs.  “The only reason I didn’t buy a kit was I’d spend so much time assembling the thing and getting it running that I would never have time to actually build my telescopes.”

Afinia Wins Make Magazine 3D Printer Buyer’s Guide Competition

Our Afinia H-Series 3D Printer won the 2012 Make Magazine 3D Printer Buyer’s Guide competition. Out of 15 3D printers that were reviewed, we won Best Overall Experience, Easiest Setup, and tied in the Easiest To Use category.

Make Magazine’s editors called our H-Series, “[A] Clear winner” and “Easy to use, with feature-rich software and impressive print quality.”

During the 11/5/12 Google Hang Out, Gareth Branwyn, Make Magazine’s Editorial Director, illustrated the unique precision of the Afinia H-Series 3D Printer.  At 19:00 he held up a print of Cushwa’s “Owl Statue”  and talked about noticing that there was actually a nostril hole in the owl’s beak.  Gareth remarked, “No other printer [other than the Afinia H-Series] was able to render the hole.”

Another example of the printing precision of the Afinia H-Series was referenced by showing an example of J_Hodgie’s “Nautilus Gears With Modified Bar”.  At 20:51 in the same video, Gareth pointed out, “Very few of the printers were able to print out all of the pins.”  In addition, the Afinia H-Series was only one of two printers to successfully complete the “Torture Test”, created by Cliff Biffle, one of the Make Magazine testers.

Afinia Introduces Value-Line ABS Filament for 3D Printers

 Value-Line is an economic alternative supply for 3D printing that features consistent performance in multiple colors.

Afinia, a division of Microboards Technology LLC, a leader in specialized printing solutions for 3D printing and rapid prototyping introduces its Value-Line of ABS Filament for 3D printers on Afinia.com and Amazon.com.  Value-Line is an economic alternative supply for 3D printing that features consistent performance in multiple colors.

“The explosion of 3D printers in the market has created an enormous demand for alternative supplies that are cost-effective and reliable” said Aaron Pratt, Afinia’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We feel that the industry will benefit from having a supplier with filament that is dependable and competitively priced.”

Currently 14 different colors are available, ranging from white to black.  Red, blue, green, orange, pink, and silver are among the most popular. Two new glow-in-the-dark filaments (green and blue) have also been introduced.

The Value-Line filament prices start at $31.99 per (Kg) or under $15 per pound, and is available on Afinia.com or through Amazon.com.

The filament is designed to work with Afinia’s H-Series 3D Printers, but works equally as well in many of the other desktop 3D printers on the market.  The filament is an industry standard 1.75mm and is delivered on a 2.2 lbs. (1 Kg) reel.  “In testing, we assessed the qualities of many suppliers of filament.  What we found was a significant variation in diameters and melting points, which lead to inconsistent feeding and melting during the extrusion process. Since Afinia’s stated mission is to commercialize 3D printing for the everyday consumer, standardizing the supplies was a top priority,” said Pratt.

Afinia’s reputation for reliability extends beyond its supplies.  The H-Series 3D Printer has rapidly earned a reputation for being the first finished product in the desktop 3D printing space.  It is fully functioning, out of the box, managed with a single software interface, and backed by the best technical support available.  “Previous to the H-Series, users were forced to compromise in one or several aspects of their 3D printing experience.  Equipment came partially or wholly unassembled; printing was initiated by running a cluster of open-source software pieces, online technical support was slow and unresponsive, and phone support was nonexistent,” said Pratt.
