Product Potential New market with 3D printers being the closest comparable According to Gartner Market Analysis and Statistics (September 2013): Consumer and enterprise 3D printer shipments are growing at 95.4% and revenue at 81.9% from 2012 through 2017. The 3D printer market will grow from $288 million to more than $5.7 billion by 2017 as consumer 3D printing hype accelerates 3D printer purchases by enterprises worldwide. Prediction that worldwide shipments of sub-$100,000 3D printers will grow 49% this year, to reach a total of 56,507 units. That rate of growth is forecast to rise to 75% in 2014, fuelling shipments of 98,065 units. Its the first time Gartner has put together a forecast for the sub-$100,000 3D printer market so thats something of a rite of passage for the technology too. Additional market studies are equally enthusiastic about the potential of 3D printers Huge potential 3D printers but 3D pens not completely comparable

Slide 14

Potential for Education The pen is recommended for those 12 years of age and older. Some possible mainstream and eclectic educational applications that have been submitted to the 3Doodler community include.
