Hi all,

I’m thinking of the possibility of starting architectural 3D printing business in Addis Ababa,Ethiopia. My question is what kind of 3D printers are optimal for this kind of business? I’m also kean for joint venturing this business.

You may want to work that backwards and find out the best printer for you first. Easiest to acquire printer and parts, easiest to acquire (or produce) stock materials, easiest to work on yourself… then use some creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to start an architectural 3D printing business that is optimal for that kind of printer. IMHO.

Hi @cyberaxe, maybe @deSap or @Multi-Champs_Architectes_Associés_SAS could help you with that

Here’s what deSap have made for example!

And good luck, it’s great that 3D Printing is going to be available in Ethopia!

Hey Cyberaxe, I would also suggest to make a small business plan, just talk to people who you think would be your clients, what are their needs and go from there. Doesn’t have to be long or too serious, but just get a feel for the market out there, then base your decission on that. Good luck with the business, let us know what you decide!
