3D Printer Maker Pirate3D Now Aims for $1 Million on Kickstarter

pirate3d-kickstarter

After day one on Kickstarter, Pirate3D’s Buccaneer saw over $300,000 raised, but funds from the crowd just kept coming in. In a blog post and email updates to backers, Pirate3D, Singapore’s first 3D printer company, has set a $1 million target on Kickstarter for its 3D Printer — The Buccaneer.

If the target is met, the startup says it will offer official acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) support as requested by folks at Kickstarter. Like most of you, I don’t know what ABS is, but Wikipedia offers quite a bit of an explanation. What I understand is that ABS is impact resistant, tough, and recyclable.

At it currently stands, over $830,000 has been raised so far with 18 days to go on Kickstarter. It looks very likely that Pirate3D will hit its seven-digit target. Pirate3D is arguably one of the most talked about startups in Singapore with many fellow countrymen rooting for their success.
