- The 3D printer sales is expected to double annually between 2015 and 2018.

- 2016 alone is expected to bring over $100 million in sales of desktop 3D printers.

- Driving the growth is mainly sub-$2500 printers.

- Main buyers driving sales are not home users but educational institutions (schools, universities, etc.) and corporate/ professional consumers.

- Robo 3D is only one of at least 5 major competitors in the market space, so even if they get 10% of total market share, that's $10 million in sales for 2016 alone (more than double current MC, and keep in mind FCN will only own 51% of Robo3D) and then seeing it double for each of the next couple of years at least. This is sales of only the printers. Not accounting for sales of the plastic filament refills.
