Stratasys. Mojo. Discover the Magic of Mojo A 3D printer so brilliant, it could have designed itself.

Mojo

No need to leave your chair — Mojo prints professional-quality models at your desk. It’s as simple to use as a document printer, yet powered by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Technology to build spot-on, functional concept models and rapid prototypes in ABSplus thermoplastic. With the lowest price, fastest build and finest layers of any Idea Series 3D printer, Mojo’s good vibes inspire boundless creativity.

The ready-to-run Mojo 3D Print Pack arrives equipped with everything designers, engineers or educators need to start 3D printing: The Mojo Desktop 3D Printer Startup supply of materials and bases Mojo Print Wizard and Control Panel software WaveWash 55 support removal system Image Gallery Materials and Bases Mojo uses QuickPack Print Engines, which contain and deliver the model and support materials to build your 3D printed parts. Modeling bases provide a smooth surface on which your models grow.

Form 1 - Formlabs. Form1 - Kickstarter. Are you frustrated that low-end 3D printers don’t have the quality to make the true beauty of your designs real?

Form1 - Kickstarter

Do you dream of having the power and resolution of a truly professional machine on your desktop? We’ve created an easy-to-use system that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost. Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer.

As researchers at the MIT Media Lab, we were lucky to experience the best and most expensive fabrication equipment in the world. But, we became frustrated by the fact that all the professional-quality 3D printers were ridiculously expensive (read: tens of thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use. We’ve been hard at work for over a year, and with your help, we’re ready to take the Form 1 into full-fledged production. We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to design a complete 3D printing experience: They look like this: Spiffy, eh? Form 1 - article TechCrunch. The Form 1 3D printer, which you may recognize from Kickstarter, has topped $1.4 million in pre-orders in just under a week on the crowd-funding platform.

With nearly 1,000 backers already, the FormLabs team has sold out of all their early-bird pledge packages, so anyone who backs the project now is only ahead of the official website sale shipments. Mad Kickstarter success always comes down to demand. Disrupt runner up gTar walked away with 3x its funding goal because it made learning the guitar fun and easy. Pebble took home a whopping $10 million after finding the perfect balance between smart watch functionality, beauty, and battery drain.

The Form 1 is no different. There’s a massive gap, and Form 1 aims to fill it. I caught up with co-founder Maxim Lobovsky (once again) to ask about momentum. Lobovsky tells me that FormLabs is being as realistic as possible with quantity. MakerBot. ReplicatorG is a simple, open source 3D printing program - ReplicatorG.

Printrbot: Your First 3D Printer by Brook Drumm

There are some great kits out there - the Makerbot, the Ultimaker, the Prusa Mendel, and others - but none as small and simple as the Printrbot. This all-in-one 3D printer kit can be assembled and printing in a couple of hours. Other kits will not only take you many more hours to build, they will also have hundreds more parts, and they will cost more. My design also does away with the finicky calibration and adjustment from which most 3D printers suffer. This is the printer a kid could put together. The Printrbot is my original design, but borrows from many great designers in the open source 3D printer world (check out reprap.org). Pictures of the Printrbot: Video of the Printrbot: More Info: printrbot.com Being a true RepRap means you will immediately be able to upgrade and modify the machine with parts you print yourself.

This kickstarter will do more than fund a single project. Please, help us change the world. Your first 3d printer. Eventorbot. Eventorbot!

Eventorbot

Open source 3D printer.The Mission and challenge behind Eventorbot, was to build a rigid, low cost 3d printer. Using less parts, easy to assemble, and is capable to self replicate most of its parts. It is 100% open source project, and all plans are available for anyone interested. Since 80% of the Eventorbots parts are printable.

Once you build your first machine, you can make it even more affordable for friends, family, or the community.
