While the 3D printing industry in India has been on fire lately, Makemendel has been quietly producing well-regarded and inexpensive 3D printers for over two years. Though they may no longer be the only game in town, they’re still the one to beat and they are willing to ship anywhere in the world.
Makemendel offers a full range of RepRap based 3D printer kits for their machine called the RapidBot. They are available in multiple sizes,including the most affordable priced at $649, the unassembled RapidBot 3.0and its upgraded cousin, the PlusBot,which offers the same features for $749, but includes higher quality parts and the option to have it assembled for you for an additional $150.
If you’re looking for something a little bigger you can pick up the unassembled XLBot, which boasts a massive print envelope of 39.37in x 39.37in x 23.62in (1000mm x 1000mm x 600mm) and can be yours for only $3,999. If that’s too much printer for you, they also offer a smaller, yet still quite large 3D printer in the form of the MegaBot which has a print envelope of 27.55in x 8.66in X 7.28in (700mm x 220mm x 185mm) and can ship to you unassembled for only $1,299.
That is already a large range of products, but they also offer a large selection of electronic parts, so you can repair worn parts or just build your own 3D printer. Additionally, they sell a 3D scanner that can scan a full sized human body, a full range of filaments, and they even offer heated print bed upgrades. And, because that just isn’t enough, they also offer 3D scanning and 3D printing services.
Makemendel product specs read as comparable to many European and US 3D printer kits, but they may more affordable, and the company’s customer support seems to be on par or better than many RepRap printer manufacturers. As the profile of Indian-made 3D printers and 3D printer parts continues to rise, expect to be hearing the name Makemendel a lot more. They are in the best position to leverage the exposure in order to expand further into the US and European 3D printer markets.
