Noise level of 3D printer SkyOne
We would like to call your attention to such the signature feature of 3D printer SkyOne as a noise level. Kinematics SCARA, which is a base of SkyOne printer, among other advantages, is characterized by very low noise level. There is a simple noise test in the photo below. The noise level is 44 dB. Let's compare this level with some other noises in our everyday life.

As an example, office employees can work in the same room with working 3D printer, the working environment is comfortable. The printer can be placed on the same table as a computer of an employee and the sound of the printer doesn't cause any discomfort. This property can be usefull during arrangements of work places, laboratories, creative workshops and in course of FDM technologies teaching in schools. An advantage in ergonomics and work space optimization is evident.
