TRiBOT – All in One Machine: 3D Print + CNC Mill + Auto-Mold

Luminar Products recently launched their 3-in-1 Machine on Kickstarter. TRiBOT is capable of 3D printing, CNC milling and injection molding.

The inventors of TRiBOT wanted to design the “ultimate tool for creators with great ideas who don’t have access to the multiple machines, tools and technology needed to bring their ideas to life”.  The machine allows users to not only prototype their ideas but to also produce them.
