Topic: Apple showed the DaVinci 1.0 in their latest ad video

I just saw this in their latest video and am kind of confused. It just does not make sense that they would show a printer that is not nearly as accurate as the $300,000+ machines they need to get the accuracy. Everyone, apple manufacture their prototypes on a DaVinci 1.0, I guess their accuracy is a .1 micron layer height haha. Just was intrigued that they showed it on a ad video.

Re: Apple showed the DaVinci 1.0 in their latest ad video

Really strange. What's even more strange that it is in a commercial for how environmentally conscious apple is yet they use a printer that can only print ABS plastic. I wonder if they almost just bought it just for the commercial. I cannot even imagine that apple would use on for any other purpose than donating them, they are just not made for actual prototyping

I think it was in the video because out of all the major 3d printers, its the most apple like.
Not only in looks, but in how much they care about support (I kid, I Kid.....)

Re: Apple showed the DaVinci 1.0 in their latest ad video

My guess was just because its handle made a nice high tech looking view port. Did anyone notice that Da Vinci had an extra plate of glass?

Does it? The only side view I could find in the video has the build plate blurred.

I think that it had already printed the outline of a white rectangle with rounded edges, which sort of looks like another pane of glass. Is that what you mean?

I was referring to the over head view. The outline looked like glass since the actual printer head was much further inside of that outline.

Ah okay, I think that's just from the white outline.
