The Origo 3D Printer is designed to turn the drawings of children into three-dimensional objects. The printer was designed by Artur Tchoukanov and Joris Peels. The printer is designed to be significantly smaller and cheaper than most 3D printers on the market today.
According to the designers, the Origo will be as large as three Xbox 360s and as expensive as four. That makes the Origo a sizable investment both literally and figuratively as an Xbox 360 is decently sized and costs around $300. Still, you can't put a price on letting children explore their creative sides. The Origo 3D Printer is still in the conceptual stage as of this writing. You can check out highly detailed (they look almost real) images of the printer here.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Kid-friendly 3D Printing
- There is a growing demand for 3D printers designed for children to use, as parents search for ways to encourage creativity and innovation in their kids.
- Affordable 3D Printing
- As 3D printing becomes more mainstream, there is an opportunity for companies to develop smaller and cheaper printers, like the Origo, that are accessible to a wider audience.
- 3D Printing for Education
- Schools and educational institutions are exploring the use of 3D printers to enhance teaching and learning, creating an opportunity for innovation in this market.
Sectors Adopting This
- Toy Industry
- Companies can develop and market 3D printers like the Origo as innovative toys that encourage children to explore their creativity in a fun and engaging way.
- Education Industry
- There is an opportunity for companies to partner with schools and educational institutions to provide 3D printing technology and resources, creating new opportunities for learning and innovation.
- Consumer Electronics Industry
- As the demand for affordable and accessible 3D printers increases, there is an opportunity for companies in the consumer electronics industry to develop and market new products that meet this need.
