We work to provide our customers with economical solutions to meet their market needs. Our goal with this project is to make 3D printers more accessible to those that cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars on one machine. In order to make this product attractive to cost conscious customers, PMPs plans to research reusable polymer cartridges, similar to those available for traditional printers.
