Is it true that you guys are cheaper and any reason why?
- cobookman 10y agolooks like voodoo uses maker bot replicaters where-as shapeways uses higher end machines. https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/41-our-machines-part-i-stratasys-fdm-400mc.html https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/41-our-machines-part...
- jschwartz11 10y agoWe are definitely cheaper! I don't know if you compared to the Shapeways PLA option, but that's actually us doing the fulfillment ;) We're cheaper than other 3D printing services because we took a different approach and use lower-end commoditized 3D printers, rather than commercial or industrial machines. The machines we use are cheaper, and use cheaper (open) materials, and require cheaper maintenance and repairs. We're also optimized for volume and cost-reduction as a company, where as Shapeways is more optimized for variety and low-volume orders.
