Brooklyn-based Solidoodle announces the price reduction of its line of printers, knocking off at least $100 on each model.
New Pricing:
2nd Generation Base $399 (previously $499)
2nd Generation Pro $499 (previously $599)
3rd Generation $599 (previously $699)
4th Generation $699 (previously $999)
"We established ourselves as the value-leader in 3D printers with a $499 product in 2012. Providing affordable options is just part of the equation, but it's a very important factor to broadening the consumer market," says Solidoodle CEO Sam Cervantes."Being able to maintain our $499 price point on our base model to date just goes to show how far ahead of the market we've been since we got started. Now, we have several major projects in the works that will be announced very soon. In the meantime, product upgrades on previous generation printers to make them even easier to use and price changes across the board will boost the value proposition on our current offering, with all products shipping within a week."
The Solidoodle all-metal extruder, which has been used in its 4th Generation 3D printer, is now standard on all 3D printer models, providing users with a more durable printing mechanism that is easier to maintain and allows them to quickly change filament colors mid print.
