LulzBot

A whopping 135 3D printers churn away in the new Aleph Objects LulzBot factory, creating tomorrow's TAZ 3 3D printer and other products including a 3D scanner, a Mini, and the TAZ 4. Step inside for our tour of this libre hardware company.

The 3D printer industry is growing in both the professional and maker markets. With more and more 3D printers diving under the US$4,000 price-point, is it time for you to pick up one of your own?

Boasting the same dimensions and print area as its predecessor, which LulzBot claims is the largest build area for a 3D printer under US$5,000, the TAZ 2 sees the addition of an LCD screen and SD card reader that allows standalone functionality.

Gizmag had a chance to get our hands on the LulzBot TAZ, a 3D printer that boasts the largest print envelope for under $5,000USD.
