His machine showed promise and was capable of producing some amazingly details prints in a very short time frame. Over the past year he has invested considerable time and money into the development of his software and is now making the complete system available as kits through the crowd funding site Indegogo.  He needs to raise 300K to reach his target and is currently 1/3rd of the way through with 28 days remaining. You help Junior reach his target by pledging just $60 for a PDF copy of his plans or at the very top end $4,000 gets you a complete kit with all the components and required software to make it run.

Read on for a video of the machine.

3D Systems strikes again!

date May 17, 2011 comments Comments { 65 }

3D Systems Corporation has announced that it has just acquired Freedom Of Creation (“FOC”), a recognised leader for printable collections of innovative and practical 3D content. An interesting move for the 3D printing giant as this would be one of the first companies it has gobbled up that does not have any 3D printing technology, rather its business model is based in selling designer 3D printed products.

With 3D Systems acquiring Bits from Bytes on a few months ago it looks like they are buying up just about everything to do with 3D printing!
