2021: Patent Receipt
On January 13, 2021, ROBBO announced that it had received a patent from the Federal Intellectual Property Service for one of its developments, the ROBBO 3D printer Mini, designed for home education of children in 3D modeling and 3D printing. The decision to issue a patent was made on the basis of the conditions of patentability "novelty" and "originality" provided for in paragraph 1 of Art. 1352 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
ROBBO's patent application was filed in August 2020. The patent will be valid until August 2025.
"ROBBO 3D printer Mini" is designed as a tutorial on 3D printing and works on the basis of open software and hardware. Any model drawn by a child, a 3D printer turns into a real three-dimensional object made of safe biodegradable PLA plastic. Children can create product layouts and plastic mechanisms up to 170x100x100 in size. At the same time, thanks to the compact design, the 3D printer takes up little space: its dimensions are 370x280x350 mm, and its weight is only 3.5 kg. In addition to the printer itself, the kit also includes a USB media with software and settings, a bar filter, a power supply and a USB cable.
Already in the near future, according to analysts, additive technologies will be distributed in domestic production, medicine and the space industry. And ROBBO will take a direct part in training for this segment of the IT industry.
{{quote 'The global 3D printing market is projected to grow nearly 2.5 times in the next five years. However, unlike other countries where additive technologies have been actively used for several decades, for example, in industry and in production, in Russia the 3D prototyping industry is only at its inception. The appearance of the ROBBO 3D printer Mini product in Russian houses and schools will allow you to prepare a pool of specialists who can bring the domestic industry of additive technologies to a qualitatively different level in the future, "explains Pavel Frolov, founder and producer of ROBBO. }}
2017: Release of "ROBBO 3D printer Mini" on the market
On February 28, 2017, ROBBO, a resident of the Skolkovo Foundation's IT cluster, launched the ROBBO 3D Mini printer on the market. The device is designed for home use and teaching children 3D modeling and 3D printing.
The printer uses a layer-by-layer material build-up method to create a physical object using a digital 3D model. For user safety, the ROBBO 3D printer Mini is equipped with a protective screen to prevent the nozzle from touching during printing. The 3D printer works with PLA plastic and is created using open source software and hardware. All schemes and models are free and publicly available.
Dimensions of the device: 370 x 280 x 350 mm, weight 3.5 kg. The printer consists of four units: base, carriage Z, printing table and stud holder. Nozzle diameter and thread diameter 0.4 mm and 1.75 mm, respectively. The maximum heating temperature is 250 ° C.
"ROBBO 3D printer Mini" allows you to create layouts, plastic mechanisms and decorative products with a size of 170 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm.
Complete:
- configured, assembled printer,
- USB media with software and settings,
- bar filter,
- power supply
- USB cable.
The retail price of a 3D printer is 30 thousand rubles.
PWC analysts suggest that the global 3D printing market will grow to $16.2 billion by 2018, and the average annual growth rate will be 45.7%. Our task is to prepare highly qualified domestic specialists who will be in demand in this new world. All our products are designed so that they can be dismantled, improved and reassembled, and the "ROBBO 3D printer Mini" is no exception. It is easy to use and learn, and we hope that it will go to every school throughout Russia. |
ROBBO company specializes in educational solutions for Russian and foreign schoolchildren. The release of the product will make their classrooms even more interesting and useful for both children and schools. 3D printing is already actively used in circles and your own 3D printer will allow you to more effectively fit the technology into the training process.
