Polaroid decided that CES 2016 was the year to announce that it was delving into the world of 3D printing. As announcements go, for the 3D printing world it is one of the biggest.
Polaroid’s brand may have waned of late – due to restructures and the threat of bankruptcy – but it is a household brand nonetheless and the first to create a 3D printer.
The new 3D printer, called the Polaroid ModelSmart 250S, is part of a three-year deal with UK manufacturer Environmental Business Products (EBP). The company will be the sole manufacturer of a printer that bears many of Polaroid’s famed hallmarks.
Shown off at CES 2016, techradar managed to see the printer in action and it’s a good-looking device.
The build space of the printer is a decent 250 x 150 x 150mm (W x H x D) and the machine has been given a nice Polaroid makeover. Across the front and the sides of the device, Polaroid’s familiar colour band has been used and its logo is in the middle near the bottom of the front case. A blue plastic trim stretches around the rest of the case.
