Creality Shows New K1C 3D Printer at CES 2024<\/h3>\n

Creality attracted attention at the start of the year with a new logo. According to the brand, the rebranding initiative is a reaction to the dynamics of the 3D printing market. “Imagine it, make it” is the resolution for this year, and the aim is to stand out through innovation. In keeping with this, Creality presented its range of products at CES, held from January 9 to 12 in Las Vegas. It took the opportunity to unveil its new FDM printer, the K1C. It features a 220x220x250mm build plate and is compatible with many more materials than its K1 range siblings. The C in its name stands for carbon fiber, as it is suitable for printing on filaments such as PLA-CF or PETG-CF. In addition, the extrusion system has been improved and the K1C comes with a metal extruder. In addition to these features, the printer also boasts innovative functions such as an air filter and an AI camera for error warnings during the printing process. The printer can already be pre-ordered on the Creality website.<\/p>\n

Kohler’s 3D Print Sink Goes to Market<\/h3>\n

Another innovation discovered at CES 2024 is a new product from Kohler, a leader in kitchen and bathroom solutions. The company turned to additive manufacturing to create one of its latest creations, a high-end bathroom sink. Named Rista, it was created in collaboration with designer Daniel Arsham. In terms of the technology used, Rista was manufactured using a 3D extrusion printing process with a vitrified porcelain material. With this new concept, Kohler combines traditional craftsmanship with digital technology to bring its customers comfort, self-care and renewal. Since its presentation at CES, this sink has begun to be marketed to a wider audience.<\/p>\n
