Abstract
Solid Freeform Fabrication is transitioning from an industrial process and research endeavor towards a ubiquitous technology in the lives of every designer and innovator. In order to speed this transition Fab@Home Model 3 was created with the goal of expanding the user base of SFF technology by lowering the skill and price barriers to entry while enabling technology developers to leverage their core competencies more efficiently. The result is a device, which is modular with respect to tool heads, fabrication processes, and electronics controls, costs under $1000, and requires only a simple tool set to assemble.
