…The system employs a capacitive touch screen as the focal point for interacting with the printer, including delivering the status of current print jobs. The print software, which works with most popular CAD programs, is tuned for accessibility, and a smart spool function provides updates on material via a built-in RFID chip, including type, color, and amount remaining. The ease…
