The End Of Mcor Technologies? by Kerry Stevenson<br />
Fabbaloo 30 May 2019<br />
<br />
I am personally very disappointed to hear this news. And apparently, the founders, the
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">MacCormacks just stepped down from leadership positions at MCor this January.<br />
<br />
Some of you might remember that I used to supply exotic STL files to the R-P vendors for you
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">to show off your building skills at the trade shows.<br />
<br />
In 1999, when the Z-Corp Spectrum was announced, I jumped right in creating VRML files in
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">color, some of which wound up at the trade shows as well.<br />
<br />
I actually got to run a Spectrum 500 around 2008-2009 and got to learn all of its color rendition
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">quirks. There are many.<br />
<br />
By comparison with the Z-Corp Spectrum, the MCor ArKe's color reproduction looks
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">spectacular -- and least, "It looked alright in the pictures" (--Lorde)<br />
<br />
I began corresponding with my local MCor ArKe reseller, Andy Grayson at RAPID SCAN 3D at
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">the end of January. I haven't made it very far, presumably due to this receivership business.<br />
<br />
Here's what I have gathered from my correspondence with Andy Grayson at RAPID SCAN 3D
<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">and from the above articles. Apparently there were at least demonstration machines which had<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">been sent to the resellers. But, by this time I contacted Andy Grayson at RAPID SCAN 3D, they<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">no longer had theirs and were waiting for a new one.<br />
<br />
It looks as though the MacCormacks had taken MCor from the demonstration stage up to the point of actually going into production and full-blown commercial sales, but investment funding to get past that point had stalled.<br />
<br />
I think that is a pity. I really had plans to design objects for this machine specifically.<br />
<br />
Are there any users out there who still have MCor ArKes running?<br />
<br />
I would really like to see how my designs come out on them.<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p>
