Poly is a multitool 3D printer made in PLA, a totally ecological and compostable material. The concept behind Poly is based on three keywords: open-source, eco-friendly, and upcycling. Poly is a DIY project available on the following platforms:
Poly is equipped with a range of tools: an extruder nozzle, a laser engraving kit, and a chocolate extruding kit, and all of them can be quickly alternated by a magnetic mechanism.
It has a printing area of 6cmx6cmx6cm and it can create, in addition to countless plastic objects (in PLA), designs and chocolate shapes.
Why Poly?
Poly is for everyone, it fits everyone, and it is within just everyone's reach. It is a wonderful and educational toy for curious children, a magic tool for foodies, and a precious ally for designers, artisans, and makers who needs to prototype their ideas. Poly is a jewel destined for everyone who decides to believe in it.
Poly has a fully biodegradable frame developed in collaboration with the Eumakers team, an Italian company very sensitive to the issue of eco-sustainability. Poly is one of the first examples of an eco-friendly printer in the world of 3D printing.
EUMAKERS is currently the main Italian company in the consumables sector for 3D printers and world leader in PLA colors.
