A Blog about Rapid Prototyping, 3D printing and customization of products by consumers for consumers. This Blog came from my time working in the Jewelry Industry and culminated in my filing of patents which are currently being prosecuted.

Digital Factory is Coming!
As we have indicated, Kraftwurx is a relatively new business, that was created as a follow on to Digital Reality's public Beta in 2006 for online customization. In 2006 We filed patents and then began freely distributing our business plan. The following year, our first competitor showed up, Shapeways.
We're elated that Shapeways has spent so very much effort raising public awareness of 3D Printing. They have absolutely done the industry a great favor promoting it so much. They however have made our lives easier...
In September 2012, our first patent was granted allowance for essentially automatically sending files from an online system to a 3D printer or a 3D print queue...essentially blocking API access to a system that queues 3D printing production. We also filed new additional CIP or Continuation in Part applications for 3D printing that cover Facebook stores for 3D printing and other technical issues. We currently have 5 co-pending open applications...
In 2013, Kraftwurx purchased the assets of Digital Reality, essentially buying the software and services that Digital Reality had developed prior including the assets and ideas behind Digital Factory. Digital Factory has now been officially merged into Kraftwurx and we will be turning the system on later this year. The 3D printing industry is in for a shock...We believe that we've built the perfect storm to drive growth into this fledgeling industry and look forward to seeing it happen.
We also re-incorported in Nevada as a C Corporation and issued shares for investment.
Contrary to popular belief, Kraftwurx has been operating adn generating revenue for a long time. We also already have beta testing clients in several continents of our system. We're ready to change 3D printing and looking forward to making it happen.
3D Printing hype...meet reality...
