Problem Defined

  • In order to use higher end thermoplastics, the 3D printer used will need to be able to heat the filament enough to extrude it into the solid object.
  • In addition, the temperature needs to remain consistent throughout the build, especially for a larger printer
  • The printer parts need to be insulated - Design Issue
  • Getting materials certified for specific product market
    • Costs?
  • Collaboration or Startup costs per Microfactory for building this product
    • Access to capital or start up funding
