INTRODUCTION
Here at ST3Di we are passionate about 3D prinng and
have created our fantasc range of 3D printers in order
to provide you with an opportunity to step into the
wonderful world of object creaon alongside us.
This is the age of what is being labelled as the ‘prosumer’:
the merging of the producer and the consumer. Having
purchased your very own ST3Di 3D printer you now
have the ability to become just that, by creang your
own unique 3D models!
Whether you are a small business or a home user, the
applicaons of the 3D printer are limitless! If your
creave juices haven’t started owing just yet, why not
check out our Model Library to help get you started.
With your new ST3Di 3D printer you have the added
bonus of our large scale prinng areas of up to
200mm (ModelSmart Pro 200) or even 280mm wide
P.S. If you have wonderful and excing ideas about what you would like to be able to print
but are struggling to nd a model design that works for you, why not get in touch and see
if we can help you to create your object! Simply get in touch and submit your ideas!
(ModelSmart Pro 280). This gives you a great space to
create some fantasc large size models.
But don’t let the bed size limit you in what you want
to create! Here at ST3Di you will nd some amazing
models that are much larger than the actual print area….
but have been designed to be printed in smaller parts
and then assembled post-prinng to give you a much
larger nished model; prey much like everything that
is currently produced for you!
So, what are you waing for? Go ahead and jump right
into this excing and revoluonary new world and see
what you can produce!
Happy prinng!
