Potential Products

• We might have a large storefront window that is passed by thousands of art-lovers every month during the nations largest, and rapidly growing art-walk.

• What types of products could serve the community, or might be needed same day (something online 3D printing services can't offer, but walk-in printing shops can)?

• What types of products could be offered in pre-sales to crowd-fund the purchase of one or more printers?
  • Products built with $600-$2500 printers
  • Products built with $20,000-$200,000 printers
