It's open materials. You are allowed to use any materials and change any print parameters. 1 build chamber can be filled up with 1 bottle of material which is $220 and most of the un-used powder can be reused.

Hey, I'm one of the creators of the printer, and I'll take your skepticism as compliment :) Yes, there were tons and tons of design challenges, but by strategically focusing on the important parts (like the laser) to concentrate our development efforts in and coming up with some clever solutions along the way, we were able to overcome most of the challenges. Remember when formlabs came out of nowhere back in 2011 and blew up the whole SLA world? We are just doing the same for SLS!

Currently, we are working with beta testers and will be sending review units out to content creators before launch so you can get a better idea of how it all works. In the meantime, if you submit a part on https://www.micronics3d.com/quote, we can print it for you to see for yourself!

This is our first video coming out of stealth and more will come in the future, so get subscribed!
