The standard crop of
3D printers
are all well and good, but what about those times when you need to
print something really, really big? Gigabot's hoping to fill in that
gaping void with a build envelope of 24 x 24 x 24 inches -- 30 times the
volume of a standard consumer device, by its calculations. The device
is a beast, naturally -- and metal one, at that. It's so big, in fact,
that it can support a full-sized laptop sitting atop an attached arm.
The project is the brainchild of re:3D, an Austin-based startup, which has turned to
Kickstarter to
help bring the Gigabot into the world -- and from the looks of it, the
company should hit its $40,000 goal, no problem. You can pick one of
these up for a $2,500 pledge, which gets you everything thing you need
to build one at home. Video of the printer in action after the break.
