Apr 10, 2014 The Micro: The First Truly Consumer 3D Printer
It took a little longer than people had probably expected, but someone finally did it – the very first affordable 3D printer for the mass public just launched on Kickstarter a few days ago and has been met with an insane (and that is an understatement) amount of support. Conservatively listing their goal at $50,000 M3D LLC has just blown by that number in a blink of an eye. Case in point the fund had grown to $1.3M as of yesterday evening and literally increased overnight by about $500k to a cool $1.8M… with 27 days left to go. This project will undoubtedly become one of the highest fundraising projects in Kickstarter history and understandably so as 3D printing has, and will continue to, revolutionize the consumer goods industry, putting the power in the hands of the people.
