Thanks to Dremel 3D Printer, 3D printing is no longer an impossible thought people had some years ago. 3D printing is in fact developing really incredibly and it is already making inroads into the homes of everyday users. To date about a million 3D printers have been sold, but there is certainly going to be a boost in the sales within the consumer segment of this market real soon. There have been incredible price drops in the industry and this is helping to make 3D printing entirely affordable not only for large organizations or businesses but also for the common users and of course hobbyists.
If you have ever shopped for a power tool before, particularly for a rotary one, you will have definitely heard of Dremel. Dremel, a subsidiary of Bosch and a global company worth $43 billion has also entered the market of 3D printing and that also in a big way. The company is concentrating on making 3D printing accessible and easy for all. It has tried to incorporate an ecosystem including free models, design tools for care-free processes, and also tutorials to make 3D printing as simple as possible. Dremel has entered into a partnership with AutoDesk, a CAD software giant to create Dremel 3D Printer. The partnership will allow them to provide completely free and print-ready printer models to their users.
Dremel has the 3D printer ready. This machine however is going to be a revamped and a completely rebranded version of Flashforge Dreamer, a printer model manufactured by a Chinese company Zhejiang Flashforge 3D Technology. Dremel will offer this product for sale starting November 3rd 2014 and it will be available for sale in Home Depot stores for just $999. In fact pre-orders for the Dremel 3D printer have already commenced since September 18th on amazon.com and homedepot.com exclusively.
Because the Dremel 3D printer has been developed with AutoDesk, it will work both on Windows and Mac. Users will be able to see a 3D rendition of their file before its finally printed. The file or the product parts can be rotated, scaled or moved as per the need of the user. For Dremel good hardware is only the half part of the equation and that is why they have partnered with the best software in town AutoDesk to bring 3D printing to regular people.
