The much-predicted next generation of the award-winning LulzBot TAZ 6 3D Printer made its debut today. The LulzBot TAZ Workhorse Edition promises to deliver larger, faster, better quality prints, and introduces automatic X/Y/Z backlash compensation for advanced print accuracy.
 
'Tens of thousands of users and industry experts worldwide nicknamed TAZ the ‘Workhorse.' Since it received the name, we decided to own it,' said Eric Beardslee, Aleph Objects Product Marketing Manager.
 
As reported by 3D insider, 'When it comes to the best workhorse 3D printers on the market, the TAZ 6 is the runaway winner.'
 
How The Best Was Created Even Better
 
'People have been using TAZ 3D Printers as tools in the most difficult environments,' said Aleph Objects CTO Steven Abadie. 'With the TAZ Workhorse Edition, we accumulated feedback from users in these conditions and added upgrades such as a reinforced frame and sturdier electrical connectors for unparalleled durability, while improving upon the already impressive print quality.'
 
The LulzBot TAZ Workhorse Edition boasts a 14% greater build volume than the TAZ 6. Getting sooner, better quality prints is better than ever with a new belt-driven Z-axis and a new, lightweight tool head design. Printing with a wide range of materials, including high-heat and high-strength composite polymers, is now possible straight out of the box with hardened-steel tool head components. An all-new LulzBot-designed tool head with 360°cooling delivers superior overhang and bridge performance.
