ThePortabee 3D打印机launched earlier this week. This low cost 3D printer comes as a kit retailing at 499USD & delivers a compact size portable 3D printer — reportedly “the first conveniently portable 3D printer in the world” according to the Portabee website.
打印机在几秒钟内可折叠，然后可以安装到笔记本电脑袋中。目前，打印机仅印刷塑料材料，也可以从portabee3dprinter.com购买。打印机从笔记本电脑中获取电源，灯丝材料除了笔记本电脑外还需要线轴。
Portabee 3D打印机非常轻巧：只有2.8公斤，它的重量相当于几年前的笔记本电脑（MacBook Air之前）。可移植性开辟了许多机会。设计师和工程师会在与客户会面时随身携带，然后现场打印样本。它允许快速更改并提供实时样本。
Portability is potentially useful for educational purposes also. Students can perform homework with it — whether the application is artistic, design or engineering, or come to that, anything else.
