3D Printers affordable for Kiwi households

New Zealand retailers have introduced 3D printers to the market and they’re quickly becoming more affordable. The Business Herald trialled one of the plug-n-play ready to use models, the Da Vinci, distributed by Comworth Technologies retailing at $899. 3D printers offer a lot to the future of technology and manufacturing. The model we took a look at is being used in schools, in small businesses and kiwi houshoulds. Companies overseas are also using the equipment on a larger scale to build 3D cars, prosthetic limbs and even houses to give a few examples.
