Their business model focuses around the development of Open-source hardware for 3D printing with full support for Free and open-source software. ==LulzBot== The company is most well known for its LulzBot 3D printer product line, which although using some extruded aluminum railing and other mass-production components still remains true to RepRap principles by having many components 3-D printable.〔Pîrjan, A., & Petroşanu, D. M. (2013). The impact of 3d printing technology on the society and economy. ''Journal of Information Systems & Operations Management'', 7(2), 360-370.〕 Due to its fully open source hardware and open source software design, the LulzBot has received "Respects Your Freedom" certification from the Free Software Foundation. In addition, the Lulzbot printers are often used in open-source tool chains on open source projects. For example, Superior Enzymes used a LulzBot TAZ in fabricating an open source photometer for nitrate testing.〔Wittbrodt BT, Squires DA, Walbeck J, Campbell E, Campbell WH, Pearce JM. (2015) (Open-Source Photometric System for Enzymatic Nitrate Quantification ). ''PLoS ONE'' 10(8): e0134989. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0134989〕 Similarly, Lulzbot 3-d printers are used in projects to create low-cost prosthetic hands.〔Zisimatos, A. G., Liarokapis, M. V., Mavrogiannis, C. I., Kontoudis, G. P., & Kyriakopoulos, K. J. How to Create Affordable, Modular, Light-Weight, Underactuated, Compliant Robot Hands. (PDF ) 〕 Due in a large part to relative ease of maintenance and use, Lulzbot printers are one of several desktop 3-D printers have been recommended for libraries by reviewers.〔Griffey, J. (2014). 3-D Printers for Libraries. ''Library Technology Reports'', 50(5), 1.〕 In its 2014 ''Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing'' special issue, Make Magazine the Lulzbot TAZ was awarded for having the "best documentation" of all the hobbyist-grade 3D printers that were tested. On June 15, 2014, a film crew from the Canadian-produced television show ''How It's Made'' visited the company's headquarters in Loveland, Colorado. There, they filmed a segment featuring LulzBot TAZ 4 3D printer, which is planned to be aired in an episode of ''How It's Made'' will air on The Discovery Channel in 2015 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aleph Objects」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
