First Look: New Matter MOD-t 3D Printer
Indiegogo success story New Matter has released several software updates to their MOD-t 3D printer since it was first launched approximately one year ago. As such, the company has improved upon an already solid foundation.
In the coming weeks I’ll be presenting an unboxing of the MOD-t, as well as releasing an interesting article featuring its output on TechRadar. In the mean-time, here is some key information about the printer:
