Inno3D Tries Hand at 3D Printing Hardware

A newcomer to the 3D printer space

You may recognize the Inno3D brand based on the company's collection of graphics cards. While not as popular in the U.S. as companies like EVGA and Asus, Inno3D builds video cards based on Nvidia's GPU designs, including the company's new Maxwell parts. However, Inno3D is also now a brand in the 3D printer space with the introduction of the M1, a 3D printer for consumers.
We couldn't find a listing for the M1 on Inno3D's website (the company is also known as InnVISION Multimedia Limited), though 3diot.net was able to track down a brochure (PDF) on gitex.com. According to the brochure, the M1 is a single nozzle (0.3mm) 3D printer capable of using PLA, ABS, and Nylon 1.75mm filament. Layer thickness ranges from 0.10mm to 0.25mm.
The M1 measures 49cm (W) x 43cm (D) x 59cm (H), weighs 11kg, and features a build volume of 140mm (L) x 140mm (W) x 150mm (H). There's also a touchscreen color LCD with a navigation keyboard.
There's a German-language website that offers the M1 for €1130.45, which is about $1,425 in U.S. currency. That's a number that will probably need to see a significant drop if and when the M1 is to compete with other consumer 3D printers stateside.
