"Innovation is at the heart of what we do, and we are always exploring new product ideas and developments."
What happens when one is faced with the dilemma that one’s home 3D printer becomes too small and a commercial 3D printer, which is quite costly expensive, is unattainable? - you get a LulzBot desktop 3D printer.
3D printing or additive manufacturing process began as far back in the early 1980's. The industry has since boomed after the turn of the millennium with 3D printing becoming more accessible to the everyday user, maker and manufacturer. This was fostered by the accelerated development of the 3D Desktop printing.
The concept of conceiving an idea and converting it into a tangible prototype or product in a quick turnaround timever is now a realistic approach rather than a futuristic ideal!
With a competitive market booming - Aleph Objects Inc., a Free Software, Libre Innovation, and Open Source Hardware company, decided to become part of a race to make 3D desktop printing a norm for the everyday household, school, library, company and business with the creation of LulzBot desktop 3D printers. Their range of projects are interesting enough to get one he imagination thinking pondering about “what can be” rather than “what if”. By creating a printing size capacity that is larger than most desktop 3D printers and by tipping the iceberg with composite metal printing,- they find themselves squarely in the middle between the desktop home user and the commercial industry printers. A unique selling proposition that is not just smart but sets up a long term plan.
