Desktop Factory: $5k 3D printer company needs final funding help to launch product
- replicatorblog 18y agoIt would be a shame if this product couldn't come to market. It may not challenge the big players, but would fill a nice gap between the "entry level" machines that sell for $15k and the RepRap products that are a little hacky and require serious engineering know how. Could do wonders for engineering training in high schools.
- foodawg 18y agoI can't wait to see more companies getting into the desktop 3D printer space. The RepRap project is still very difficult to a novice user, and has a long way to go. Bre Pettis actually just started a company called http://www.makerbot.com/ http://www.makerbot.com/ MakerBot that is working on a more commercialized RepRap. Definitely something to checkout, since they are shooting for a sub $1000 price point.
