I love how the Flashforge creator is the top trending printer. I didn't know that they have become so popular!

Insights: 3D Printing Map of the World

The map represents the spread of our printers, which are largely based in the US and Europe. However, some very active hotspots can be seen in Brazil, Argentina, Israel, Singapore and Australia.

There's a good reason for the Australian hotspots: each of them is a State Capital and where our population and industry is concentrated. In the rest of the country there might be one or two printers in a small town, and they don't show up.
