Sep. 18, 2013 - MILAN, Italy -- FABtotum launched their new generation of 3d printers for the pro and consumer market, starting with a successful indiegogo campaign. FABtotum is a multipurpose tool, the first low cost desktop personal fabrication device that can operate a wide range of Computer controlled (CNC) manufacturing processes.

3d PrintingFABtotum is capable of 3d-printing plastic objects using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) to make complex shapes easily and cheaply with little effort. However, there's much more to FABtotum than 3D printing!

Cutting & MillingWhen a different material is needed, Fabtotum can switch to subtractive mode and cut or 3d-mill different materials like foams, woods or even thin Aluminium and Brass. This expands the possibilities of what you can accomplish with a personal fabricator.

3d-ScannerUsing the built-in 3-D scanner or the on-board Z-probe sensor you can acquire solid objects, save it on your PC as a 3d model, make some changes in your favorite 3d modeling software, or make a 3D-Print in many materials right away!

Digital ArtistsAre you a designer? a 3d modeler? Get some modelling clay and shape your ideas, Use FABtotum for a quick scan or a hi-precision acquisition. Make more objects in different materials, use solid objects as a base for your 3D editing work or use the scanned items in your work

MakersFabtotum is the maker's best friend! PCB milling is now easy and cheap which allows you to quickly prototype your ideas. It enables you to make plastic, wooden, metal components or enclosures. You can even scan and reverse engineer designs and solid objects!

ProfessionalsArchitecture, Engineering, Design, Jewelry and many more. FABtotum can be a very useful tool for prototyping or showcasing your works. FABtotum has been developed to be scalable and flexible to adapt to your daily workflow and fit nicely in your office space.

FABtotum was launched in a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.com to fund production of the FABtotum personal fabricator. The $50k goal was surpassed in one week, and the campaign reached almost $150k in less than 3 weeks. The FABtotum Indiegogo campaign ends on October 7, 2013.
