FDM 3D Printer and nboyut.com

Project Name: nboyut.com
Responsibility:
  • Managing the project and the project team
  • Developing 3D printers
  • Web developer
Outcomes:
  • The platform remained open for 1 year. During this time, it reached 72 manufacturers, 985 customers, and 94 successful orders. Canceled due to insufficient funding and lack of investors.
  • 2 different 3D printer models was built
  • Many upgrades done on printers
Project Objectives:
  • Building the next generation platform for 3D printed part production supply
  • Developing a supply & production platform, where companies or people have 3d printers, gives service to people who need 3d printing service

Background of the Project

At those times, 3D printing was just becoming popular and makers wanted to earn money with their 3D printers to fund their next projects. I and my friends were too. Some was doing business manually from facebook groups or social media. There was a lack of a web platform that gathers who is printing and who need printing. Business plan was to expand the company's support to CNC parts, laser cutting and more. Thus, project was aiming to become the unique supply & production platform.
