Airwolf 3D is a Costa Mesa, California-based company that produces 3D printers. ==History== Airwolf was founded in May 2012 by Erick Wolf, a patent attorney with a mechanical engineering degree, and his wife Eva. The inspiration for the company reportedly came from a 3D printer that Erick, also a garage mechanic, bought just before Christmas 2011. After encountering difficulty with his goal of getting the printer to print itself, as replacement parts, he worked with the printer until New Year's Eve before determining that it wasn't able to complete the task. The printer was eventually scrapped for parts, and Erick instead began work on his own printer. His original goal was to make a model sports car, and the resultant printer was named the Airwolf 3D. The original Airwolf printer (v.4) was derived from the Prusa Mendel and Mecano Air designs, hence the name "Airwolf." The company started shipping fully assembled 3D printers in June 2012 from their garage in Newport Beach, California. The first printer was sold to Lars Brubaker and Kevin Pope of MatterHackers. MatterHackers went on to develop MatterControl, 3D printing software that works with many 3D printers and is offered in a customized version for Airwolf 3D. Airwolf's technicians use 3D printers to replicate more 3D printers nearly 24/7 at the company’s headquarters in Costa Mesa, California. Airwolf's customer base includes Boeing, John Deere, Raytheon, Saleen Automotive and Honeywell — as well as schools and home hobbyists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Airwolf 3D」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
