The Biggest Lie About 3D Printers in Egypt

Lately, a lot of videos have been spreading on social media claiming that you can start a business with a 3D printer and make 500,000 a month, or 100,000, and other random numbers like that.

We’ve talked about this before and we’ll say it again: yes, you can start a business with 3D printing—but for one main reason only: a printer can produce an unlimited variety of products instead of needing a separate mold for each one. On top of that, there are products that simply cannot be manufactured in any way other than 3D printing.

But here’s the real point:
Do you actually have a product that the market is desperate for?
Are you 100% sure you can market it and sell in volume?
Do you have a product that solves a real problem, with a cost that is low compared to its benefit or compared to the traditional solution?

To answer these questions, you need to test first by printing with someone else.
Even if the cost is higher than printing on your own machine, if your product spreads and demand grows, then you can buy one printer, two, or even ten—like many people did—and turn it into a production line instead of throwing your money away.

The math is simple:
First, calculate the cost of the part and the marketing cost, then test. We can also help you with printing, and after that, we can recommend the right printer for you.
