Portabee is a new 3D printer that can possibly bring the expensive technology to the mainstream.

A couple of months back MakerBot launched a new line of 3D printers with the intention of providing affordable 3D printing capabilities the everyday user. The Replicator 2, which costs $2,199, is still a little steep for those interested in getting creative with a 3D printer.

Hopefully Portabee will set a new trend of companies offering cheaper 3D printers. Want to see what can kind of creations you can make with a 3D printer? Order a Portabee today here.
