Mcor was founded by Conor McCormack and his brother in 2009 in Dunleer, Louth. With a background in the aerospace industry and a stint with Airbus Conor decided to go it alone with Mcor and create a unique 3D printer which uses paper rather than plastic, powder or liquid resin. In 2012 they released The Mcor Iris is named after the goddess of the rainbow; the Mcor IRIS prints in more than one million hues simultaneously as it creats photo-realistic physical 0bjects from 3D data using A4 paper.
In January 2016 Mcor launched the ARKe which is a desktop variant of the Iris. It brings full color 3D printing to the home, office, or classroom, along with a new type of additive manufacturing that we have not seen in the desktop market thus far.
