Dremel Boosts Its DigiLab Suite with the 3D40 FLEX 3D Printer 

Dremel has announced the debut of its newest 3D printer, the Dremel DigiLab 3D40 FLEX 3D Printer.

The 3D40 FLEX offers various new features that make it quick and easy to create a range of prints for the classroom. The 3D40 FLEX includes a flexible build plate to help make it much easier to remove parts after printing. 

The Dremel DigiLab 3D40 FLEX offers several new features that make it easy to print multiple projects quickly and efficiently. The flexible build plate in particular allows for easy removal of prints to provide students and educators with the best experience in digital fabrication.

"We've seen a lot of use and success with our previous 3D printer models," Dremel President John Kavanagh says. "As we continue to learn about digital fabrication, it's important to introduce new innovations to better suit the classroom and makerspace settings. This is what led us to 3D40 FLEX." 

To accommodate more users, the 3D40 FLEX also prints 30% faster in draft mode, according to the company. This speed setting maximizes time with the printer, ideal for environments that require quick turnaround and continuous run time. The printer also features higher resolution capabilities to better print intricate features like arches, organic forms, small details, engravings and diagonals.

"The Dremel DigiLab 3D40 FLEX 3D Printer will help with complex and practical applications, perfect for educational usage," Kavanagh says. "It's a safe, reliable option for Makers of all ages and skill levels and incorporates a lot of smart design elements to enrich the experience."

• flexible build plate for easy, safe removal of prints; 
• faster printing while in draft mode to maximize the use of the machine;

For educators interested in hands-on, project-based learning, Dremel has an education-focused offering featuring both the 3D40 FLEX and the Dremel DigiLab 3D45 3D Printer. In addition to the products, users receive access to a four-hour professional development course and 30 standard lesson plans for students ranging from third to 12th grade.
