Their recent blog post is candid about the issues it has been facing while it has tried to get off the ground. They write, &#8220;3Dprintler has had to make sacrifices everywhere to stay afloat just to continue paving the way for 3D printing industry. In the end we\u2019ve made it to this point through grit, hard work, less sleep than we\u2019d like, lots of ramen, and even moving our office into one of our 3 bedroom apartment\u2019s just to save a few dollars in our finances. Our achievements so far are thanks to our determination, but we\u2019d love it if the Canadian government could help facilitate business opportunities \u2013 or just get innovators in the same room to meet and explore synergies. So far this has been work we\u2019ve had to do on our own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-75185\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/3dprintler-button-api.jpg\" alt=\"3dprintler-button-api\" width=\"427\" height=\"272\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After chastising the Canadian government for lack of support for their venture, the company says that private investment will help them continue working towards their dream. Funding the development of the project, the near-seven-figure investment will allow them to push out new features, such as a 3Dprintler button. This will allow online shoppers to click the button and instantly compare prices.<\/p>\n<p>I can definitely empathize with the need for investments and the desire to work towards one&#8217;s passions. For their sake, I hope that this funding goes a long way towards a sustainable business model and a robust &#8220;Kayak for 3D printing&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The founders of 3Dponics have since evolved their business from only 3D printed hydroponic systems to include 3D modeling more generally and a 3D printing price shopping tool called 3Dprintler.
