The Solidoodle 3 3D printer will be on display at 3DEA!

3DEA is proud to announce that our newest addition to the 3DEA family will be New York-based 3D printing brand, Solidoodle! Created by aerospace engineer Sam Cervantes in 2012, the former Makerbot executive combined his tech knowledge and experience as a business professional at Fortune 500 companies, and he set out to create an easy-to-use 3D printer that combined accessibility and affordability.

In an effort to bring manufacturing independence to inventors, makers and engineers around the globe, the inexpensive and rugged Solidoodle 3D printer was born in 2012. With $2 million in sales, Solidoodle not only boasted a record-breaking first year, but they had also produced the first $500 3D printer on the market! The successful printer also garnered praise from respected media outlets such as USA Today, ABC, Tech Journal & Wired.

“The reigning champion of affordable 3D printing has been MakerBot Industries, but Solidoodle, run by former MakerBot executive Sam Cervantes, now solidly holds that title with the release of a new $499 model,” says Kimber Streams of ABC News.
