3D Printers affordable for Kiwi households


New Zealand retailers have introduced 3D printers to the market and they’re quickly becoming more affordable. The Business Herald trialled one of the plug-n-play ready to use models, the Da Vinci, distributed by Comworth Technologies retailing at $899. 3D printers offer a lot to the future of technology and manufacturing.
