Tesla enthusiast runs 90-printer farm to make SnapPlate holders Additive Manufacturing
Mass customization, consumer 3D printing, on-demand, local, digital manufacturing. These are no longer just far away goals of 3D printing: for some people, they are already a reality. According to 3dpbm’s newest Polymer AM market report, there were 4.17 million units of entry-level desktop 3D printers installed globally. If we factor in prosumer-level 3D printers – such as those from Ultimaker and Prusa – the total grows to about 4.75. million units. There are those, an increasingly large number of people, that use farms of these 3D printers to build new businesses. That’s certainly the case of Tesla enthusiast Matthew Budraitis and his SnapPlate 3D printed accessories sold on the EveryAmp website.
