3DP Unlimited (3DP), manufacturer of professional-grade, large-format 3D printers, has partnered with Lease Corporation of America (LCA) to make its 3D printers available to organizations of all sizes at a low monthly price. 3DP's Platform Leasing Program considerably lowers the barrier to entry for the 48% of global enterprises reported by Tech Pro Research to be currently evaluating the technology for a diverse range of business applications. Effective immediately, the company's flagship printer, the 3DP1000, which MSRP's for $20,000, is available to lease for under $400 per month.
With one of the largest build area's in the industry (1000mm x 1000mm x 500mm)—over 70 times larger than the average desktop unit—3DP1000's are utilized for production, prototype and design applications in a wide-range of industries, including manufacturing, industrial equipment, aerospace, architecture, construction, retail, furniture, apparel and education. 3DP's open-source platform enables businesses the flexibility of employing the largest range of affordable, state-of-the-art printing materials, modeling software, technology and hardware upgrades from the ever-expanding materials and developer community.
"The impact of 3D printing cannot be understated," said John Good, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for 3DP. "Just as personal computers revolutionized communication and creativity, 3D printing is upgrading the competitiveness and speed of global business. From rapid prototyping to finished goods, our clients rely on 3DP's professional-grade technology to drive their businesses, and now our Platform Leasing Program makes it available to everyone."
"We have partnered with 3DP to power the Platform Leasing Program and bring affordable financing options to this rapidly growing industry," said Brian C. Kemp, Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Lease Corporation of America. "LCA and 3DP will work with each organization—from manufactures and service providers to designers and schools—to develop tailored financing that allows them to quickly obtain their own 3DP1000 at a low monthly price."
