Our market niche is a rather large one. 2BOT is the only inexpensive, rapid 3D CNC 3.5 axis subtractive printer that is compact, light weight, easy to use, interfaces with all types of data files (GIS ESRI, STL, LIDAR, AutoCAD…..) and even can take 2D Jpegs and turn them into 3D Models. Additionally another benefit is that the consumables are not proprietary and thus cost pennies, to a couple of dollars per model, not hundreds to thousands of dollars and are readily available worldwide. Rapid prototypes and topos can be made in minutes instead of 40 to 80 hours in the case of additive printers. On going R&D in new apps adds the potential, power and flexibility of 2BOT but not the cost or complexity.
