3D printers are not new for the tech world as over time this industry has seen numerous such printers effectively create amazing things. However, so far this technology has not been adapted by the masses because of one reason and one reason only. The fact is that it is the hefty price tag of this new breed of printers that is preventing it from gaining widespread use as a 3D printer costs thousands of dollars for a user.

 

Due to this reason, people are not still able to see lot of 3D printing, but now a low-priced decice is ready to hit the market that will give users the same results they normally would only get from the expensive breed of this class.

 

The name of this inexpensive 3D printer is RoBo and it’s a Kickstarter project. Currently RoBo is going through its Kickstarter campaign in which 32 days are still left. With so much time still left in the campaign this device has already gained $78,000, which is more than its initial goal of $49,000. This overwhelming response from the buyers shows that RoBo has been able to lure a huge base of customers and it is close to become a huge hit.

 

the reason behind this success is the price tag of this new 3D printer that is just $520, as the team behind this project says they will sell RoBo at this rate. However, this was not the only reason why RoBo has been able to raise a massive $78,000 amount, as the second benefit of this 3D printer is its convenience. This means that the users will be able to take prints from RoBo “within minutes” soon after they plug it in.
