How much space do I need for a retail installation?

The Twinstant is 10ft (3.05m) in diameter and requires only a small table for the laptop. We recommend a minimum of 10′x15′ (3.05m x 4.57m) space in order to setup the Twinstant Mobile, a small table for the laptop, and still have room for showcasing the 3D printed product in compact display cases.

How should I price my products?

We have made ordering 3D prints as afforable as possible so you can price low and go for volume or price at a premium and still make strong margins. Contact us to download a 3D Photography Industry Guide we have been assembling for more information regarding pricing strategies we have seen work well.
