A that costs less than $5,000 and produces quality 3D Models?
Manufacturers expect the arrival of this new printer and so far have been heavily disappointed, as orders have been taken but actual printers have yet to be supplied.
In a technology driven industry 3d printing manufacturers who make unsubstantiated claims offering 3d printers at imaginative costs may not survive the long term haul.
Such start-up difficulties are often common for new firms and inflict loses to those manufacturers who await these rapid prototyping machines, who sometimes never arrive.
There are no bargains to be found price-wise but rather technologically-wise; another manufacturer but an established one, who recently launched its independent U.S. operations - Objet Geometries LTD has a long history of living up to its technological promises and delivering quality printers to its customers.
The Objet Polyjet system outranks all its competitors in terms of quality of finish, thin walls, range of materials, etc.
Innovation is for the rapid prototyping industry and Objet has managed to maintain a technological edge over the years, differentiating itself from the competition and delivering a top-end to its dedicated customers.
In an arena filled with manufacturers offerings of more affordable and faster printers are aplenty. The reality is that the final model printed may be produced in less time but at a slightly cheaper cost but may be of no use due to its rough surfaces, and breakable parts. The difference is quite similar to buying a quick and fast coffee machine as opposed to a quality 'bean to cup' cappuccino maker.
Even in the third world and less able economies, manufacturers still prefer purchasing a manufactured by a reliable company which is able to actually deliver the printer, support it, install it, and print on the fly 3d models which are true to life duplicates.
In European economies such as Germany or the USA, major multinationals will adopt a no risk policy and maintain that Objet's 3d printers are the only choice for their rapid manufacturing processes.
Some manufacturers have all together skipped the manufacturing process and replaced it with the 3d printing process as the actual materials contained in the Objet printer cartridge are good enough to print a direct product to be used immediately.
This revolutionary concept is driving the market towards a one stop printing - producing solution which only top end 3d printer manufacturers such as Objet Geometries LTD can deliver.
Objet's 3d printing systems are far ahead of their competitors and continue to lead the market with a real product and a competitive price, unmatched by any of its rivals.
