Researchers at the MIT Media Lab created the Form 1 printer, an easy-to-use 3D printer system, that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost.
“We became frustrated by the fact that all the professional-quality 3D printers were ridiculously expensive (read: tens of thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use.
In 2011, we decided to build a solution to this problem ourselves, and we are now ready to share it with the world.”
The Form 1 printer is engineered to produce high resolution parts with the touch of a button, and uses stereolithography instead of plastic extrusion for their consumer focused device.

I noticed that you’ve written about Kickstarter campaigns, and I know this article is a bit old, but I just thought that you might be interested in ours.
We’ve launched our very own crowdfunding campaign for our company, Protos Eyewear, to crowdfund custom fit eyewear made via 3D printing.
It’s unfortunate, but Kickstarter no longer allows eyewear, so we have to work extra hard to get the word out. And if it’s okay, we would love to get your help and support in any way, shape or form. If you would like to write about our project, then please do check us out at protoseyewear.com
We would be forever grateful if you can share our project with your readers, friends, or whoever you think would be interested.
If you have any inquiries or concerns regarding our campaign, please feel free to contact me and I’ll certainly get back to you as soon as I can.
