A 3D printer that looks like it belongs in your home

3dprinter.jpg

Cubify’s colorful 3D printers look like coffee makers, and that’s exactly the point—they’re a natural fit for your home. And they might be just the ticket to making this 3D printing thing stick with normal people.

The Cube is kind of the opposite of Makerbot’s at-home 3D printer, the Replicator, which is a big bulky 32-pound industrial beast. The Cube, on the other hand, is a 19-pound, adorable sewing machine-sized apparatus, and it’s totally something that fits right in with your other appliances. To top it off, it’s $1400, compared to the Replicator’s $1750 starting point. For $50 more you get Cubify’s design software to make the printable creations of your dreams.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
