History
Kikai Labs is an offshoot of a software development company. In late 2011 the company began to investigate 3D printing based on the RepRap project, and built several prototypes during 2012.
The company started shipping fully assembled 3D printers in April 2013 from their office in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The focus of their printers has always been to target industry, entrepreneurs and education market, not the DIY crowd.
