The Nano project is crowd funding at its best. Its like having a thousand marketing people. Q: What is your message to iBox Nano – Kickstarter supporters?Ī: We want to thank you for both your support and quality comments & suggestions as well as helping spread the word about the Nano. Upon reaching a pending state we will be sharing the technical details that allowed us to reach this achievement. We have not released specific details or really emphasized this tremendous achievement because the patents are being written and have not yet been filed. In the end we had to have custom displays manufactured to meet all of our specifications. This enabled small packaging and reduced product cost. Q: What was technically the most challenging part of developing iBox Nano?Ī: We are the first company in the world to develop a 3D Printer that uses an LCD to cure UV Resin. We have been through six beta stages since then and now have a fully developed version that has the quality of the giant alpha unit, but small, inexpensive and very well engineered. The next pass we ran all of these in parallel quality, miniaturization, cost reduction, and ease of use. ![]() We added a marketing position to bound the project. So we conducted cost reduction and miniaturization in parallel, this left us with a new issue of complex packaging and high assembly cost. The issue with miniturazation is that it increases cost by orders of magnitude if done alone. So we dedicated many months to miniaturization. Q: Tell us more about the progress of iBox Nano?Ī: The first alpha unit printed a very complex dinosaur head which was a huge success, but it was large and had over $600 of components. The early bird price was 189, which is a pretty amazing price for a 3D Printer. The 3D printer takes things to a whole new level, offering a very affordable printer that is a very small size. After compiling more than 20 patentable ideas I pulled a team together to create what you see today. The iBox Nano is 10 days away from completing its Kickstater campaign, and is currently at 288,752 of a 300,000 goal. I did not want to make just another 3d printer. ![]() I decided to give it 3 months of research and development and see if I could add innovation to an already innovated market. Q: Most 3D printers are expensive (especially high resolution models) and large, how did you come up with the idea for iBox Nano?Ī: I wanted a 3D printer and wanted something small with decent quality and would fit on my already crowded desk. Support the iBox Printers team and pre-order your iBox Nano on Kickstarter ![]() Below is our recent interview with Trent Carter, founder of iBox Printers: Developed by Melbourne, Florida, based iBox Printers – iBox Nano is the worlds smallest, most affordable 3D Resin Printer and the worlds first production LCD based UV Resin printer.
