A1 is changing the world in the field of 3D design and printing by bringing 3D technologies to the market at very low prices, so that everyone can afford to use them. The majority of 3D design in the world is done in 3D CAD. But CAD users are a tiny percentage of all those who might design in 3D if they had the right tool. That tool now exists - the Chameleon.  3D designers can not only see but feel what they are doing as well – there is force feedback on the 3D mouse. Not only is the Chameleon low cost (price under UK£500) but it can be used by everyone from a 5 year old child upwards, and its output can then be printed. Another way of generating a 3D file is using a laser scanner for reverse engineering or scanning an existing part or shape.  We are offering the David laser scanner, the world's lowest cost 3D scanner (price under UK £350) which allows anyone to copy a physical object. The RapMan (price under UK £1,000) is the leading kit 3D printer in the world, which has to be assembled by the customer.  The pre-built version, the BfB 3D 3000 (price under UK £2,000) does the same thing except it is plug-in-and-run, and yet still at a fraction of the price of other 3D printers on the market. Both these products can print in a number of polymers (especially ABS and PLA), which are also very low cost. We also offer the Cool Tool range of products which allow children to start experimenting with 3D technologies such as milling, routing and turning. Like our other products, these modular kits are very low cost and extremely easy to use. At the top end, the CNC range allows 3D .stl files to be machined, as an alternative to 3D printing. These kits start at under UK£100.
