Over the past decade, the 3D printing industry has grown leaps and bounds. In fact, per Statista by the end of 2018, the annual revenues from the global 3D printing market are estimated at 12 billion U.S. dollars. Furthermore, they expect 3D printers and materials to represent almost half the total revenues over the next four years. Though 3D printing has grown into a huge industry some consumers aren’t privy to the newest home or small business 3D printers on the market.
Glowforge recently launched its new line of 3D laser printers where consumers can bring their 3D concepts to life with a push of a button. Setting up the Glowforge takes a few minutes and works via Wi-Fi by using a web browser or app on any Mac, PC, tablet, and smartphone. Glowforge can create and print from software including Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, CorelDraw, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Autodesk 360, and Sketchup. Users can also bypass software altogether as the onboard cameras can scan a drawing and transform it directly into a print on almost any material.
Glowforge can print on leather, wood, acrylic, paper, fabric, cardboard, metal, glass, ceramic, stone, laptops and even chocolate. Glowforge also offers a line of Proofgrade™ materials digitally encoded so Glowforge printers can recognize them and auto-adjust to print perfectly each time.
The Glowforge Basic, Plus, and Pro are now available for purchase at Glowforge.com, below is the pricing for each Glowforge printer.
- Glowforge Basic ($2,495) is perfect for home, hobby, and craft use, and can print beautiful products on dozens of materials.
