Some of you may recall approximately two years ago when Austin-based company re:3D launched their gigantic GigaBot 3D printer. The machine, which the company claimed could print items which were 30 times larger than most traditional 3d printers, was priced rather affordably and has been a relative success.

Now, re:3D, the company behind the Gigabot is using Kickstarter as both a crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platform. They have launched a Campaign to raise money and attract Alpha and Beta testers for the Open Gigabot, a completely open source large-scale 3d printer. More details on the company's plans and this new upcoming 3D printer can be found here: http://3dprint.com/51218/open-gigabot-3d-printer
