Mcor Technologies Ltd

Founded in 2005 in Dunleer, Ireland, Mcor Technologies Ltd is a manufacturer of 3D printers that use paper as the build medium to create physical 3D prototypes from 3D computer aided design (CAD) files. The use of paper as a build medium is unique in the rapid prototyping industry.[1]

The prototype to be built is created when a sheet of A4 or letter size paper is drawn into the 3D printer; the geometry of the prototype is cut by a Tungsten tip blade; and adhesive and pressure are applied to adhere each sheet of paper to the next. The process repeats additively until the prototype is complete. When the model is complete, the unused paper is manually peeled away. [2]

Color 3D Printing

Mcor’s IRIS 3D printer can print parts in full color, by using a two dimensional inkjet printing technique to apply color ink to each layer of paper that will be used in building the prototype prior to the cutting and gluing part of the process. [3]

Color can be used to replicate the appearance of buildings, maps, products, anatomy, and molecular structures; add annotations to prototypes; display the results of structural analyses (i.e.; finite element analyses); and to produce final consumer products. [4]
