Be part of the most important revolution in decades with Ikonic: 3D Printing. Global sales are set to increase 300% by 2020 to £20 billion. New uses for 3D Printing are being trialed and adopted by almost every sector from education to manufacturing and the creative industries. This is one of the most exciting areas of development.
3D Printing is where physical objects are built up in layers of materials, based on computer designs, creating Three Dimensional items. These can be anything from prototypes to working mechanical products and technical models. There are some incredible benefits to 3D Printing:
> Cost-effective, low-volume and flexible - ideal for bespoke production.
> The capacity to radically redesign products and to create materials with enhanced properties.
> Less need for expensive and dedicated tooling.
> Reduced environmental impact, reduced energy usage and material waste.
> Better-distributed manufacturing.

This level is the start of the process where the buyer has viewed and performed some research into 3D Printing. Typically they have some understanding of 3D Design and want to move into production but they don’t want to pay too much at this stage. Ideal for those that are new to 3D Printing, the curiosity user, and children.
Starter Level 3D Printers: FlashForge Inventor II, FlashForge Finder, XYZ Da Vinci Jr 2.0 Mix, XYZ Da Vinci Jr Pro, XYZ Da Vinci Jr 1.0 Pro
The next step and the most common level of user. Customers will have some experience in 3D Design and print already but want to move up to a better quality output printer without significant complication or cost. This level is perfect for existing users, hobbyists, creative individuals, Primary Education, HE, FE+, SMB.
Intermediate Level 3D Printers; FlashForge Creator Pro, FlashForge Dreamer, FlashForge Inventor I, FlashForge Guider II, LulzBot Mini, LulzBot TAZ 6, 3DGence ONE, XYZ Da Vinci Pro 3 in 1, XYZ Da Vinci Super.
