That message caught on, and quickly disrupted existing desktop 3D printer market conventions with its easy-to-assemble modular structure and metal frame. What’s more, the 3D printer is also compatible with a laser engraver toolhead. By backing our Kickstarter, you’ll be getting Trinus at a special price, and helping us achieve our vision of bringing professional-grade 3D printing to everyone,” the Kodama team argued during the summer on Kickstarter. As a result, Trinus performs at a level far above its price point.
Not only does it have a metal frame, it also has metal internal components. “Trinus is made with all premium aluminum and steel parts. And their huge success is even more remarkable because the Trinus is actually their first creation.īut it’s appeal is obvious, as the Trinus doesn’t suffer from the same problems faced by other budget desktop 3D printers – such as nozzle clogging, flimsy frames and component errors. Their name is a tribute to Hideo Kodama, the Japanese engineer who developed the world’s first working 3D printed prototype back in 1981.
While huge Kickstarter successes sometimes create equally huge logistic challenges, Kodama seems to have thought of everything and the first batch of Trinus 3D printers are ready for shipping already.ĭespite its Japanese name, startup Kodama is actually a small team of San Francisco-based artists, designers, and engineers. In fact, early bird pledgers picked one up for just $199.
That achievement grew out of the appeal of the all-metal Trinus 3D printer, the first all-metal 3D printer to dip below the $500 price point. Remember the Trinus 3D printer? While 3D printing startups have previously been responsible for some huge crowdfunding successes on Kickstarter, Kodama and their Trinus 3D printer showed the world how it’s done by raising more than $1.64 million USD during their extremely successful campaign.
