Hunter's comment

We all know 3D printing is around for a decade. Mostly it has been used for hobies or projects.

I remember seeing it for the first time 5 years ago at my university workshop. It was for plastic and I wondered if it can be used for metals. Well I recently learned that Metal X can do that.

It is created by Markforged which is a small startup in Boston that started in 2017 and now Metal X is the first metal 3D printer that costs under 100k dolars. It saves more than %90 percent of cost to produce.

You may wonder what will I do with a Metal 3D Printer but one of my friend with a small car renovation workshop considering buying it and saying in 2 years it will turn into profit. With this products you can start your own business or turn your business to less cost production center.

Hope you enjoyed my hunt
