Another benefit of the TAZ printer is the tool free assembly and pre calibration system. Aleph Objects Inc, the company behind the model say that TAZ users can switch tool heads or even swap out for a completely different one, if they want. The company issued a statement saying that the hardware and software will ‘not be locked down, become obsolete, or require licensed upgrades over time'.
