A 2,000-yen 3D printer "MOD-t" can also sell its own products in an online store

Although inexpensive models are appearing one after another for 3D printers, they are not penetrating to ordinary households, and there should be few people who purchase 3D printers for the purpose of "making small items at home". Meanwhile, it is possible to output customized parts such as accessories, switch covers, pen stands, rulers etc in a design that fits the interior freely, and furthermore in the dedicated online store it is possible to publish and sell their own products that output 3D data A 3D printer of 2 million yen level "MOD-t"Is a cloud-funding platformIndigogoWe are seeking investment in.

All items such as smoothly shaped rabbit figurines, switch covers, etc. are made with 3D printers.


Such a looking stylish 3D printer is "MOD-t". Even if you put it at home it is a natural design.


Steve Shell, a developer who deals with 3D printers since the beginning of 2000, It is said that MOD-t was designed due to the idea that anyone can easily use expensive 3D printers with unknown potential.


It looks like it is outputting like this, fine modeling is possible with a nozzle of 0.4 mm in diameter.


What outputted by MOD-t is a big feature that it can be sold at "New Matter Store" to be released around the summer of 2014.
