    You're seeing a lot of printers made in China because of two reasons. 1) Is the low price point that you're looking at. Most of the technology is open source clone and it is not worth the a US company to get involved it those low cost machines. 2) The availability of components in the Pacific rim.

    When your price point goes up you start looking at Ultimakers, Makerfarm and others you get product out of the states and EU.
