Afinia Retires H480, Introduces H400

The Afinia H400 is the ideal desktop 3D printer for use in classroom environments, as well as for the everyday in-home user. Front-and-back doors offer access from both sides, and a fully-enclosed HEPA air filtration system keeps the air clean and breathable. The Afinia H400 is shipped fully assembled and ready to use, with all the materials you'll need so you can start printing in minutes.

New and Improved Features Include:

WIFI - transfer your print job wirelessly from a computer or mobile app
Touch screen control - conveniently perform basic operations without a computer
Better resolution - with layer thickness as fine as 0.15mm
Power failure protection - resume printing from where a print was stopped due to power failure

The Afinia H480, a fixture in many classrooms, was retired at the start of 2017. Rest assured, Afinia will provide full support for the foreseeable future so your classroom investment is safe.
