Years ago, on a chilly fall day, a lone student sat in a dorm room filled with the humming sound of 3D printers and that year’s homecoming parade just outside the window. At the time, life was simple and providing 3D printed parts for college students was a somewhat novel and profitable way to pay the bills. Who would have thought this could spark a lifelong pursuit?
That spark ignited an entrepreneurial imagination that gave rise to a business that lived and breathed on making ideas reality. Accomplished by providing clients with digital product designs and physical models of their ideas by way of 3D printing, attaining success arose along with an uncovered passion for unlocking the creativity of others.
At the core of this success was 3D printing. 3D printers allowed for a quick conversion of an idea from nothing to a physical part in your hand in days or even hours—our customers loved it and so did we.
Growing Pains and A Solution
But life wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, the relationship with 3D printers was certainly love/hate. As the business began to scale, 3D printer reliability became an increasing topic of concern. It became apparent the 3D printers themselves were pretty stupid. For instance, if they messed up printing a part, they would just keep going. It’s like photocopying a stack of papers with a photocopier that runs out of ink but just keeps going and you end up with a paper stack of useless illegible hieroglyphs.
To solve this problem, the solution was simple. Take existing 3D printers and make them smart using artificial intelligence. Turns out this concept worked well and allowed for a significant increase in reliability.
This technological breakthrough led to great financial success and even a couple patents.
Decisions Decisions
After achieving this newfound pinnacle of success, the idea of leaving all the 3D printing headaches behind crossed his mind. The thought of getting engaged, moving into a house, and buying a particular long sought-after high-performance sports car, seemed like a logical next step.
But another thought began to creep in… The idea of making the technology he loved so dearly, accessible to everyone.
And if you really must know, she (not the girl but the car) was a Lamborghini Huracan, specifically in Verde Mantis.

After much contemplation and many late-night hart to hearts with his mentors and confidants, there was only one path forward that made sense to him.
Inspired by the same passion and creative impulse that his favorite automobile evoked, this new path meant building a company that would sell the world’s easiest to use 3D printer.
The Mantis.
A 3D Printer Unlike Any Other
That idea gave life to the company Verde Mantis, uniquely named after the color of the aforementioned Lamborghini , the first consumer 3D printer manufacturer whose sole purpose is to bring convenient and easy to use 3D printers to the masses.
Naturally, The Mantis 3D Printer had to be an equally emotion evoking green.

Verde Mantis is focused on unlocking the true potential of creative minds by providing an easy to use solution that doesn’t require hours of training and headaches to learn.
The Mantis simplifies the complex 3D printing process and allows you to focus on innovation instead of dealing with the quirks that currently plague the 3D printing process.
Imagine a gateway to a world where all young aspiring minds can make their next big idea with the push of a button. The Mantis 3D Printer is that gateway.
After seeing the awe struck look on the faces of those who use the Mantis, we think we made the right decision. What do you think?
