3D Printing - A paper based 3D printing technology which can revolutionize the way we use print

3D printing has been the buzzword for the last few years and is gaining traction in numerous applications that can benefit from the technology. However, 3D printing has held great promise for prototype building, model building, medical applications, crafty accessories, small tools and jigs, etc.

For the first time someone has come up with an idea that makes 3D printing an integral part of a printing service provider. A tangible 3D paper print. Whoa! No this is not sci-fi - it is something that MCor Technologies Ltd has created and has the possibility of unlocking a new potential of perceiving 3D printed products from a printers’ point of view. So who is MCor?

Mcor Technologies Ltd is an innovative manufacturer of the world’s most affordable, full-colour and eco-friendly 3D printers. They are the only 3D printers to use ordinary business A4 and letter paper as the build material, a choice that renders durable, stable and tactile models. Established in 2004 with a talented team of specialists in the area of 3D printing hardware and software, Mcor’s vision is to make 3D printing more accessible to everyone. The company operates internationally from offices in Ireland, the UK, America and APAC. www.mcortechnologies.com

Their revolutionary creation is called Mcor IRIS HDTrue 3D Color Printer

This one's for the 3D printing/Maker crowd.

While the cost of 3D printers continue to come down, the cost of filament and other 3D printing materials remains fairly high. 

Enter Mcor Technologies, which believes it has the solution for the high cost of 3D printing materials with its patented technology for printing 3D color models using letter sized printer paper.

My interest in Mcor started when they announced a partnership with Staples, which will bring 3D paper printing to office centers in Europe and eventually North America. 

In this podcast, I talk to Dr. MacCormack, the CEO of Mcor, about using paper as a 3D printing material and how it compares to other 3D printing materials, the evolution of the company's technology, how the Staples deal came together, how Staples and Mcor plan to make 3D printing services work at retail, the future of 3D paper printing and more.

We were delighted to hear that recent ITLG award nominees and all-around nice people at Mcor Technologies are opening their first US office at the Irish Innovation Center in San Jose.

Citing our previous interview with Conor MacCormack from Mcor Technologies, TIME magazine's "Techland" blog also published an article covering Mcor's 3D paper printing.
