Beijing Yinhua Laser Rapid Prototypes Making and Mould Technology Co., Ltd. (China) Also makes stereolithography and multi-functional laminated object manufacturing and fused deposition modeling machines. (In Chinese and English.)
DimensionTM This is a division of Stratasys dedicated to selling a low-cost 3D printer line based on the company's FDM technology.
Fochif Mechatronics Technology Co., Ltd. (China) [The company acts as a service bureau, but also sells in-house developed FDM technology, starting at $35,000.] (In Chinese.)
Kinergy Pte., Ltd. (Singapore) The company makes both multi-functional fused deposition modeling and laminated object manufacturing machines, and dedicated FDM and LOM systems.
RepRap RepRap Stands for replicating rapid-prototyper. It's an open-source 3D printer design project headed by Adrian Bowyer at the University of Bath (UK). RepRap is intended to make plastic, ceramic, and metal parts, and eventually to have the ability to make copies of itself. The technology is based on multi-axis robotic deposition of filamentary material, similar to fused deposition modeling. The parts cost is said to be on the order of US$400.
Stratasys The company sells equipment based on its proprietary FDM technology and also is the exclusive sales channel for Arcam AB's electron beam melting (EBM) technology in the US. In 2002, the company introduced the DimensionTM low-cost 3D printer line.
