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.)

Dimension™ This is a division of Stratasys dedicated to selling a low-cost 3D printer line based on the company's FDM technology.

Fab@Home An open-source project to design, develop and manufacture an inexpensive syringe-based additive fabrication machine and related software. The components to build the device can be had for as little as US$2,500, and a variety of materials can be used for building, from silicone to chocolate. The project is led from Cornell University, but there are participants from all over the world.

NextFab Store The company provides kits for fab@home machines priced in the range of US$3,100. It also sells major machine structural part kits for those wishing to procure their own electronic and mechanical components or to experiment. An (almost) completely assembled version of the machine can be purchased for about US$3,700.

Automated Creation Technologies ACT provides a range of parts and assembled systems similar to and competitive with NextFab, above. In addition, a two head version of the machine is also available which allows for the possibility of using a support material during the build.

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.

MakerBot Industries The CupCake is a small open source fused deposition modeling kit that's called the CupCake because its build envelope is about the size of a cupcake - a nice big one that would fit in a 4 inch cube. The US$750 kit comes with 5 lbs of ABS plastic. The company has set up an extensive framework of blogs, wikis, etc., and also a web-site reminscent of Shapeways for users to exchange designs called the Thingiverse.

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.

Bits From Bytes (UK) Sells complete kits of mechanical parts for about US$600.

RepRap: Store US vendor selling mostly parts and sub-system kits.

Technology Education Concepts (TEC) US vendor selling Bits From Bytes kits to the educational marketplace in the US. A basic RapManUSA kits sell for US$1,495 and a fully-assembled version is US$2,395.

Stratasys The company sells equipment based on its proprietary FDM technology. In 2002, the company introduced the Dimension™ low-cost 3D printer line, and in 2009 established the FORTUS™ division for high-end rapid manufacturing applications.
