The year 2012 has been a memorable one in the world of 3D printing. From 2 year old Emma's 3D printed "Magic Arm" capturing our hearts and minds to the ups and downs formlabs has been experienced, from the successful surgery for replacing the lower jaw for 83 year old lady to the hot discussions on 3D printed gun, this year had it all. Millions of people have learned about 3D printing technology, the 3D printers are getting better and cheaper. But 3D printing technology still need to mature so that enterprises and governments can deliver new value and experiences to customers and citizens. Also we wish all of you in the 3D printing world, a very happy holiday and hope that 2013 will be another great year full of innovation and competition. ;-) January: Makerbot announced Replicator | 3D Systems announced Cube 3D printer at CES2012 February: March: April:

Premade printers, like the $1,999 I just reviewed, sold for roughly between $1,500 to $2,500. You could alternatively buy a build-it-yourself kit, like the MakerGear Mosaic 3D printer I built in January, starting around $700. Then a little company in Brooklyn, N.Y., introduced the Solidoodle 2, a preassembled 3D printer starting at $500.
I first learned of the Solidoodle 2 at the NY Tech Day startup event last month. Sam has worked for MakerGear, the 3D printer maker from Ohio, and also served as MakerBot's chief operating officer. So Sam, as CEO and founder of Solidoodle, gives his company credibility. On the one hand, then, the Solidoodle 2 seems to completely disrupt the 3D printing market with its low price. Based on its specs, nothing. Consider the key features of each printer.

CES 2013: New CubeX 3D Printer Spits Out Objects the Size of Basketballs.
© Jaymi Heimbuch 3D System's Cubify printer made a real splash at last year's CES and is back again at this year's with new machines that offer even more options for designing and creating your own objects.
The newest version of the Cubify's Cube printer now prints up to 1.5 times faster than the old model, and offers more materials, including both ABS and recyclable PLA plastics. These printers are exciting not only for being able to create your own stuff but also for makers and designers who want to create miniature prototypes of designs cheaply and without waste. The brightly colored printers were hard at work on the tradeshow floor showing off what they're capable of.
But there is one improvement that some makers require, which can only come from a different machine. The CubeX can handle printing objects 10.8 x 10.45 x 9.5 inches and can do so in three different printing modes and at three different print fill densities. CES 2013: 3D Systems Introduces A Faster, Quieter Cube 3D Printer. There’s a lot of cheap 3D printing options now available to consumers who want to start experimenting with the technology.
That being said, all of the cheap options are coming from innovative Kickstarter campaigns. There’s not a lot of cost effective options coming out of the already established players in the industry, but 3D Systems’ newest 3D printer might just do the trick. 3D Systems announced at CES that it’s readying a next-generation Cube 3D printer for launch later this month. The new Cube builds upon the success of the first one, but adds a number of enhancements that will be welcomed by the 3D printing community.
The new Cube is said to be 1.5x faster, and has a quieter print speed. Home MakerBot. Twittering Machines » Luc Merx: the Damned.MGX chandelier.
