Create it REAL, a Danish 3D printing technology provider is pleased to announce the first worldwide 3D printing real time processor. After 2 years of research and developments, our team have succeeded in producing a range of chips that are going to boost the 3D printer industry.
Speed is the key breakthrough - the 3D RTP v450 can reach up to 450mm/sec which is some three times faster than typical desktop printers on the market today. 3D printer manufacturers will be able to solve the speed issue - which is blocking market adoption - without changing current designs and mechanics.
The chips are initially targeting Fused Filament Fabrication printers, but are also ready to support SLA technology (Stereolithography) and will support SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) in a near future.
Create it REAL partners will appreciate the ease of integration in their current range of printers. Using only the 3D RTP chip (installed on a standard dim socket), or the full motherboard including all the controllers for the different printer parts, OEMs will be able to release new versions of their products quickly.
Finally, Create it REAL also offers an optional intuitive software to print 3D files, optimized to take advantage of all the features included in the 3DRTP chip. If needed, OEMs can get a complete tailor-made package to meet their exact needs and make sure they offer unique value to their customers.

“Our objective is to support all the 3D printer players, from small start-ups up to large OEMs, and to offer them easy to integrate, state-of-the-art technologies so they can spend their time and resources on their most important assets: their customers” says Jeremie Pierre Gay, Create it REAL’s CEO.

The development kit will be available end-January 2014 for 3D printer manufacturers eager to integrate Create it REAL technologies into their products.

This 3D printer board electronics has been designed and developed using all the great contributions and feedback from the RepRap CloneWars group in Spain. All shortcomings from other similar boards have been addressed providing an affordable yet feature rich 3D printer electronics. The SAV MkI, improves upon the previous production-grade electronics set (Gen6, sanguinololu) by adding well dimensioned power MOSFETS, SD card support, on-board regulated 3.3V to connect to 3.3V level peripherals such us Bluetooth, as well as improving on USB link's reliability and reducing cost by eliminating the FTDI UART chip.
The SAV MkI is a derivative of Teensylu and the Printrboard, an AT90USB1286 development board originally based on Sanguinololu. The Atmel AT90USB1286 MCU has an on-chip USB, removing the need for the FTDI UART (USB-to-serial) IC. On-chip USB means that you will get faster firmware upload times, communications, g-code transfer and reduce the time file transfers take from the host to the on-board microSD card. The AT90USB connects at any baud rate regardless of firmware configuration, and operates virtually free of serial communication errors/pauses.

In addition, the SAV MkI has broken out the second UART with its levels adjusted to 3.3V logic. You will be able to connect any HC-05 or HC-06 bluetooth dongle to wirelessly control your printer.
Features
Feature rich yet affordable 3d printer electronics. The SAV MkI has been designed after taking feedback from the Clone Wars RepRapers out there. We have come through with an electronics that we believe will meet your expectations.

• Hotend and heatbed well dimensioned FETs that can take up to 15A without heat-sinks.

• High speed native USB interface connectivity going up to 12Mbps so that there is no lag on your prints.

• As opposed to the 38400-115200 baud via FTDI. The end result is: virtually no serial communication errors (common with Sanguinololu and Generation_6_Electronics).

• 12V built-in fan controller for your layer fan or hot end cooling.

• Micro SD reader for autonomous printing.

• Bluetooth dongle (dongle not provided, tested with HC-05 and HC-06) interface adapted to its logic levels for wireless operation.

• Expansion bus to connect a keyboard and LCD.

• Support for 4 standard pololu compatible stepper motor drivers.

Smoothieboard 

• Stepper motor drivers are cooled by the PCB with wide copper areas which allows you to get more out of your board than with normal off-board drivers.
• All main connectors are on the borders of the board making it easier to plug in and leaving the board less clogged with cables.
• All pins are broken out to make it easy to add things to your board and to make it easy to support new uses
• Stepper motors current setting is controlled digitally. Forget about turning minuscule potentiometers with a screw driver; Just set your current in your config file.

On Kickstarter it starts from 100 USD for 3 axis version, to 160 USD for 5 axis version.

RAMBo 1.2 

From product page:

Improvements for version 1.2 of RAMBo motherboard include:

USB isolation - Ground loops are a known issue with USB. When two devices are connected to mains power it is possible that their grounds are at different voltages. When a USB cable is connected between two devices with a different ground reference the cable can be a path for current return. This can cause interference, and in worst cases burn traces/components on circuit boards, and melt USB cables. It can usually be avoided by ensuring USB connected devices are plugged into the same power outlet as their peers. We opted to add isolation between the atmega32u2 that handles serial comms and the atmega2560 that runs the printer. The Analog Devices iCoupler ADUM7441 used is transformer based so it is isolated in a way similar to ethernet. We chose this part over opto-couplers mainly due to its small footprint for the number of isolated channels.

Thermistor over voltage protection - Over voltage and ESD damage to microcontroller ADC pins has killed many 3D printer controllers. Like many recent 3D printer developments a solution was proposed on the RepRap Forums. Bobc, Nophead, Cefiar, and NoobMan proposed an overvoltage protection for the thermistors. I found the discussion and based my implementation on nophead's sketch here. We customized it for the impedance, leakage current, and VCC level of RAMBo. It protects the Atmega2560's ADC from continuous 24V input and short pulses of 35V.

All the power rails on the new RAMBo boards are compatible with input voltages up to 35V.

There is a more detailed change list on the RepRap wiki. The individual commits are in the RAMBo source files on github. We will be publishing more docs shortly (mostly at the RepRap wiki). Google

Intel Galileo

From Arduino page:

Galileo is a microcontroller board based on the Intel® Quark SoC X1000 Application Processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium-class system on a chip (datasheet?). It’s the first board based on Intel® architecture designed to be hardware and software pin-compatible with Arduino shields designed for the Uno R3. Digital pins 0 to 13 (and the adjacent AREF and GND pins), Analog inputs 0 to 5, the power header, ICSP header, and the UART port pins (0 and 1), are all in the same locations as on the Arduino Uno R3. This is also known as the Arduino 1.0 pinout.

Galileo is designed to support shields that operate at either 3.3V or 5V. The core operating voltage of Galileo is 3.3V. However, a jumper on the board enables voltage translation to 5V at the I/O pins. This provides support for 5V Uno shields and is the default behavior. By switching the jumper position, the voltage translation can be disabled to provide 3.3V operation at the I/O pins.

Of course, the Galileo board is also software compatible with the Arduino Software Development Environment (IDE), which makes usability and introduction a snap. In addition to Arduino hardware and software compatibility, the Galileo board has several PC industry standard I/O ports and features to expand native usage and capabilities beyond the Arduino shield ecosystem. A full sized mini-PCI Express slot, 100Mb Ethernet port, Micro-SD slot, RS-232 serial port, USB Host port, USB Client port, and 8MByte NOR flash come standard on the board.
