Since 2015 the two students behind the company have been developing cost-effective 3D printers. In March FabLab got Mehta Heino latest printer for testing : \u201cWe needed real people to test our products, so we can keep making our machines better\u201d explains Santosh Mehta. Mehta Heino&#8217;s 3D printer is now available for everybody to try at the FabLab. Already within the first week, the printer was put to the test: \u201cA student needed to print a large project which succeeded very well. We later learned that it was the first time the Mehta Heino printer, printed that big\u201d explains the Lab Manager Krisjanis Rijnieks. The Lab Manager got a lot of praise for Mehta Heino 3D printer that is situated side by side competing 3D printers in the basement lab at Otakaari 7: \u201cMehta Heino has really created a good product that are great for rapid prototyping\u201d, Krisjanis Rijnieks explains. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist wp-video-playlist wp-playlist-light\">\n\t\t<video controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\" width=\"640\"\n\t\t height=\"360\"\t><\/video>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-next\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-prev\"><\/div>\n\t<noscript>\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li><a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/55960539_405137373378073_1476597331464078168_n.mp4'>Metha Heino 3D printer<\/a><\/li>\t<\/ol>\n\t<\/noscript>\n\t<script type=\"application\/json\" class=\"wp-playlist-script\">{\"type\":\"video\",\"tracklist\":true,\"tracknumbers\":true,\"images\":true,\"artists\":true,\"tracks\":[{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/studios.aalto.fi\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/03\\\/55960539_405137373378073_1476597331464078168_n.mp4\",\"type\":\"video\\\/mp4\",\"title\":\"Metha Heino 3D printer\",\"caption\":\"\",\"description\":\"\",\"meta\":{\"length_formatted\":\"0:08\"},\"dimensions\":{\"original\":{\"width\":1280,\"height\":720},\"resized\":{\"width\":640,\"height\":360}},\"image\":{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/studios.aalto.fi\\\/wp-includes\\\/images\\\/media\\\/video.svg\",\"width\":48,\"height\":64},\"thumb\":{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/studios.aalto.fi\\\/wp-includes\\\/images\\\/media\\\/video.svg\",\"width\":48,\"height\":64}}]}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collaboration between Mehta Heino and FabLab \u00a0has given the small start-up venture important feedback in order to move further with their company: \u201cWe will look into making adjustments to the prototype from the feedback we get from FabLab.\u201d The assistant at FabLab , Jason Selvarajan, is hoping for more collaborations like this in the future: \u201cIt would be great with more networking between departments, so we can identify who got the machines and knowledge needed to make the FabLab even better for the users\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future has arrived \u2013 that\u2019s what could be rightfully said about 3D printing and its effect on human lives.
