Old World Labs (OWL) today announced the launch of two new best-in-class 3D printers in its MC Series, the MC-1 and MC-2 at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas.
Instead of selling its 3D printers outright, OWL is offering customers a contracted service plan that allows customers to upgrade their hardware as the technology is refined, ensuring high-value manufactured parts are printed at optimum quality.
Founded in Norfolk, VA in 2013 OWL develops and manufactures innovative products that support automated chemical and industrial platforms. Their new printers, designed for the customers in the fields of medicine, science, engineering, robotics, art, have '250x the resolution of other 3D printers', says the company.
"The benefits of 3D printing to science, medical research and academic discovery are evolving, and the people who are making the utmost progress and greatest discoveries need the most precise and accurate printers available. The MC Series fit this description – no other 3D printers can match them for resolution, precision and functionality," said Nick Liverman, CEO and Founder, Old World Labs. "Our printers are not like anything else on the market. They are more accurate and capable of handling printing the minute details that makes the difference to people trying to change the world."
