Arduino Is Releasing Its Own 3D Printer

Arduino is best known for its micro-controller of the same name and we’ve covered countless projects featuring the little electronic wonder over the years. With the 3D printing industry making massive inroads in the do-it-yourself market, it’s not that surprising that the company behind one of the ultimate bits of hobbyist gear is releasing its own 3D printer.

Today, the Arduino Twitter account posted the following update, providing followers with a sneak-peek at its upcoming device, called the “Materia 101”:

3Discover.it managed to get its hands on a better photo, showing the printer in more detail. According to the story accompanying the image, the hardware is being produced with the help of European outfit Sharebot — in fact, the Arduino model looks very similar to Sharebot’s Kiwi 3D below.

Information regarding pricing and availability haven’t been released as of yet, but as a guide Kiwi3D kits start at €570, or around $824 Australian. Hopefully it’ll be a bit cheaper than that!
