As we are a product innovations company with deep roots in 3D printing, we are aspired to give back to the 3DP community. Therefore, we have decided that this product will not be patented. Our goal is to bring a quality product to the hands of the masses and let this idea inspire other people to eventually create their own versions. To be recognized as an originator of product innovation is all that we hope to achieve and running a successful crowdfunding campaign via the Kickstarter platform is the perfect way for us to achieve this goal.

We completely understand that our design can be replicated. Our aim is only to be able to reach our target goal and to inspire others with our design. What we can assure you is that our SP3DGET's will be the original designs.

Once the Kickstarter campaign has ended, a Google form will be made available to all our backers with a deadline. In the event of no response from a backer when the delivery date is reached, a random color will be chosen from that backer’s reward category.

We wanted to ensure that we will not be overwhelmed by an unexpectedly large amount of total backers and to specially thank our early backers. Therefore what we have chosen to do is to limit the first batch of our product to ensure that early bird’s (520 backers) will have their SP3DGET's shipped out by the first Shipping reward deadline. By doing this, we wanted to show our commitment to those of you who chose to back us from the beginning. Post early bird delivery, we will also continue to produce the rest at the fastest pace possible based on our production capacity so that the later backers will get their hands on a SP3DGET ASAP as well!

There are currently no set stretch goals. However, we have discussed different scenarios and will think of creative ways to thank our backers. Something we have discussed is to potentially gauge interest in producing a mold injected version of the SP3DGET instead of delivering a 3DP version of it if we end up receiving a wild number of backers. We will adjust our strategy throughout the campaign and will keep everyone posted on any updates.

Our core business is in helping companies and educational institutions to effectively adopt digital fabrication technologies (3D Printing, CNC, Laser Cutting). What better way to show case the power of digital fabrication than to create our own real-life application story with 3D printing? That’s why we have decided to start designing and delivering our own products starting with the SP3DGET and given your support, there will be many more to come!
