The Maker Studio 3D printers yield prototype-quality printing which are ideal for creative exploration. Following a brief orientation, users can design and customize their own 3D prints and make some post-production modifications. | The Maker Studio 3D printers yield prototype-quality printing which are ideal for creative exploration.
