iBox Printers is issuing a claim that it has the world's smallest, most affordable 3D printer. "Most 3D printers are expensive, large, noisy and complicated," said Trent Carter, founder of the Melbourne, Florida-based company. They have introduced their iBox Nano on Kickstarter. The creators had four goals for the iBox Nano—to be small, quiet, inexpensive and portable. The product is a 3D resin printer and it is constructed of precision laser cut extruded acrylic. Why resin? The team said resin has outstanding properties and advantages over FDM, which stands for Filament Deposition Modeling. Many of the resin printers on the market use DLP technology to create and control the UV light used to cure the resin.
