It squirts, it cuts, it dices. \u00a0The Tribot by Luminar<\/a> is trying to be the ultimate machine to take your idea from prototype to product using all the super powers required for each step in the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

The Tribot will retail at $9,950 in early 2015 but Kickstarter backers can back the progress for $7,700 with 8 units going pre-kickstarter (that’s a new thing) for only $5,000. While this may not be the finest resolution 3D printer on the market, the largest CNC milling bed or the type of injection molding rig capable of churning out tens of thousands of injection molded parts with multiple part molds and shut off faces, the ability to make a small run of a simple part in your workshop is something that desktop 3D printers cannot yet achieve.<\/p>\n

The Tribot is not being launched by the usual geek\/hipster trio that has become the default demographic for launching 3D printers on Kickstarter, the Tribot is being developed by a group of old school engineers and business types with years of experience with machines for making things.<\/p>\n
