Available as an upgrade to existing or new Airwolf 3D Axiom 3D Printers, the dual extruders enable users to maintain more control over their projects. The maintenance of control during the printing process is key being that designing a project and sending it to the printer can leave makers feeling disconnected. The Airwolf 3D Axiom 3D Printer works by offering enhanced capabilities not previously possible to help set new precedents in the world of 3D printing. Makers can upgrade existing Airwolf 3D Axiom 3D Printers with a dual extruder for $1,495 or purchase a new unit with the upgrade for $4,995. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dual Extruder 3D Printers:** The trend of using dual extruders in 3D printing can lead to more efficient and faster printing processes. - **Enhanced Capabilities in 3D Printing:** Improving the capabilities of 3D printing technology can lead to innovations in industries such as prototyping and manufacturing. - **Personalized 3D Printing:** Using dual extruders in 3D printing can allow for more personalized and customized creations, leading to disruptive innovation opportunities in industries such as jewelry and fashion. ### Who This Affects Most - **Prototyping:** The enhanced capabilities of 3D printing can lead to faster prototyping and testing in industries such as product design and engineering. - **Manufacturing:** Dual extruder 3D printers can create more efficient processes in the manufacturing industry, leading to cost savings and improved productivity. - **Jewelry and Fashion:** The trend of personalized 3D printing can lead to disruptive innovation opportunities in industries such as jewelry and fashion, where customization and unique designs are highly valued. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Material 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fdm-3d-printers.md) - [Dual-Extruder 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sv04-idex-3d-printer.md) - [Multi-Head 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prusa-xl-multi-material.md) - [Efficient 3D Printing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-3d-printers.md) - [Cutting-Edge 3D-Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapmaker-u1.md) - [Easier-to-Use 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimaker-s6.md) - [Aftermarket 3D Printer Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/co-print-chromaset.md) - [Dual-Extruder 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ender-3-neo.md) - [High-Speed 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blade-1.md)
