Bringing 3d Printing to the Masses
3d Printing is everywhere, online that is. Just type 3d printing into google and you'll get a wide range of websites dedicated to their own niche, selling 3d printers, or 3d printed art, or 3d scanners. All of the different choices can be quite over whelming!
Our goal is to bring all of the information together in a place you can feel comfortable asking questions and comparing products and materials. Currently we are going to conventions to grow our fan base but our ultimate goal is to have a physical store.
Yep, an place you can go and see lots of printers and scanners and merchandise all in one place. Where you can pick products up, and see 3d printers in action. With knowledgeable staff that can answer any questions that someone new to the 3d printing would like to ask.
We are in the planing stages of this business and are building support! Read here to see what our store will be all about!

The Future
Our 3D Printers
About
Founded by Dusty Santos, we are always looking for new ways to help make 3d printing more mainstream. We have taken a product that is usually found only online and put it right in front of the customer. Placing creations that usually are only seen through a screen, within reaching distance to be touched and held.
Artist can submit a design to us and if we like it we place that creation on our shelves. We benefit from having all the coolest creations a 3d printer can print out, and the artist benefit because they don't have to print or ship anything, just collect a check.
Unique! Our store physical store will be very unique, in that we don't have to wait for shipping of our merchandise; we can print it right on the spot. If you see something you like but want it in a different color we can print it for you. You can also choose from our catalog of items we don't currently have on the shelf and get that printed as well.
We have many future plans that will get you excited, concepts that have never been done anywhere before. Plans that will help artist and allow customers to see new innovative creations never before available. Including a creation station that will allow artist to use our equipment, and a couple 3d scanners that can make anything/anyone into a 3d file to be printed.
A full body scanner, as well as a small scanner is in the plans. With those 2 scanners we can take a picture of you and print it in miniature. It's a new 3d way of capturing yourself. Come in wearing your prize winning costume to display beside your trophy. Or preserve your little one in that adorable child size.
Sculptors who love working with clay, wood, paper, and anything else you can imagine know that it takes a long time to make those creations, and they have to start all over again when they want a new one. Not Anymore! With the new 3d scanner we'll be able to scan your creation and create a digital file. The file won't need to be created again. We can print that creation as many times as you want, for you, and for your customers!
Scanners
3d printers are expensive, and shipping online can be costly. We plan to have a separate room called the "Creation Station". In it, artist can use our computers, 3d modeling software, and 3d printers to create whatever they/you want!
Artist would pay per day and for any printing materials used. The price is undetermined but will be very cheap. A contest will be held every month for the best items made in our creation station. The winner will have his/her winning object for sale on our shelves for the following month, and in the catalog and available to customers forever.
Creation Station
This is our first in house 3d printer, the Helix by Acuity Designs. It has a really big build radius of 300mm squared. All of our merchandise is made using this printer making our business very unique.
Anything out of our catalog and anything on our shelves can be printed in almost any color the same day. No other store can offer that kind of customization.
Like I said above we want to be thee place for customers to see a variety of 3d printers. Don't let this printer be the only one customers see! Contact us so we can re-sell your 3d printer to.
As 3d printers get more advanced we will be able to print many more materials and colors. We strive to keep ourselves up-to-date on all the technology.
