Desktop Factory Accepting Reservations for 3D Printer
9/14/07 – Pasadena-based Desktop Factory, an IdeaLab startup that develops lower-cost desktop 3D printers, today announced that the company will begin accepting reservations for its forthcoming printer, the Desktop Factory 125ci.
The company is now taking a 10 percent deposit of $495 for the first 1,000 reservation orders placed via the company’s web site. With the introduction of the Desktop Factory 3D printer, priced at $4,995, Desktop Factory says its intention is to bring 3D printing to the masses.
In addition to the price, Desktop Factory is touting the printer’s user-friendliness. The company says it can be plugged into standard wall outlets, is fully network compatible, requires no special ventilation and uses an inexpensive halogen light source and drum printing technology to build its robust parts layer by layer using low-cost composite plastic powder.
Desktop Factory was founded in 2004.
