About Totem3D a high definition 3d printer 3d Printer
Totem3d is a high resolution desktop three-dimensional printer designed for dental and jewellery workshops. Totem3d uses digital light processing technology and offers a build envelope of 144 by 81 by 150 millimetres, with a horizontal resolution of 75 microns. The high printing accuracy allows dental models to be made without visible stair stepping. Typical outputs include studio models, steps for virtual setups, bites and surgical guides. The body is made of aluminium and stainless steel, machined by computer numerical control.

- Production Technology
- This machine is realized with aluminum material and stainless steel and work with cnc machine with high precision.
- Design Challenge
- major obstacles during the development of this printer are learn electronics, learn programming language because I have a mechanical industry and for me elettronics and programming language are unknown until i started this project.
- Project Duration
- The project started in December 2012 in Pordenone (Italy) and finished in August 2014, this printer is the third prototype built and now I study for a new version with several improvements.
- Operation Flow
- 3d printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a method for fabricating a physical object from a digital model. Whereas traditional subtractive manufacturing cuts material away from a solid piece of material (i.e. wood carving or metal machining) to create an object, 3d printing adds layer upon layer of material to gradually build an object. For a simple visualization, imagine placing successive circular sheets of paper on top of one another until the stack becomes a three dimensional cylinder.
- Research
- When I discovered the world of 3D printing (3 years ago) I wanted to challenge myself and try to build myself a new 3d printer but with better quality than those on the market. So while I was working in my workshop of day, evening and night I studying and I designed the printer until I managed to have a working prototype. The printer was born as my personal challenge, only after I realized it could be very useful in the dental and jewelry industry.
- Inspiration
- The external dimension and shape of the 3d printer is similar to Indian totems and Moai of Easter Island. For the Indians the totems are an emblem or revered symbol and likewise the Totem3d printer can become a emblem for dental and jewelry sector because will revolutionize the system of work.
