Save yourself time and money by buying right the first time
With the recent trend in low-cost, budget 3D printers hitting the market, it is tempting to buy these machines for your prototyping needs. Be smart and understand the hidden costs BEFORE you buy. Over the long run, cheaply made machines are more expensive, time consuming, and difficult to maintain. Spend less time fixing an inferior printer and more time using your Airwolf 3D printer to design, build, and innovate. Buy AXIOM.
