Unlike, the traditional production process that cost high and requires experience, the 3D printing can be easily used in both industrial and education purposes.

Tiny Boy is the first open-source 3D printer for kids and school students. The new 3D printer is designed to meet with the young user needs, as it can fit on the desktop and safe for use by kids and students.

Tiny Boy is an entry-level printer with one direct target is to allow kids and students to learn about 3D printing by using a simple printer without complex features and options.

The acrylic parts in the 3D printer is created using cutter laser. The files are delivered as CDR Coral Draw files. The cheap A5 laser cutter costs around $400, which can be used to build multiple 3D printers. Creating the 3D printer parts and assembling it on the client side helps to reduce the production cost. The files are available at Thingiverse and GetHub.

The Tiny Boy 3D printer targets an important segment in the market, which are the kids and school students to teach them how to build their own 3D printer and use it to learn about the 3D printing technology. The new 3D printer for kids takes the technology to a new educational level.
