Distribution Agreement Brings New 3D Printing Possibilities to Consumers

New Age Electronics, a leading distributor of consumer electronics and gaming products and services and a division of SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX), has entered into an agreement with the Dremel brand, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, to distribute its 3D Idea Builder to select Consumer Electronics retailers. Through the agreement, retailers have access to a unique bundle featuring the Dremel® 3D Idea Builder and Sprout by HP, the world’s first immersive computer and fully integrated desktop 3D scanning solution, which together create a full-range 3D printing, scanning, and design system.

“New Age Electronics, Dremel and HP share strong synergies in delivering end-to-end, holistic technology solutions that allow consumers to experience cutting-edge trends such as 3D printing,” said Fred Towns, President, New Age Electronics. “By bringing this exciting bundle to select retailers, consumers have access to a fully immersive 3D printing solution to help bring their ideas to life through an innovative and user-friendly experience.”

Sprout’s revolutionary new features blend the physical and digital worlds everyone creates in, allowing users to go from thought to expression in an instant. Sprout melds a 3D camera and scanner with an array of software tools and applications, all manipulated by using a touchscreen that sits atop the desk and below the computer’s display. Objects can be scanned by placing them on the touchscreen, and once compete, the resulting digital files can be manipulated directly on the screen.

By pairing Sprout with the Dremel 3D Idea Builder, a high-quality, easy-to-use 3D printer designed to empower and expand project possibilities, a full-range system is created to give users a single, end-to-end solution for 3D printing.

“Dremel is expanding the notion of 3D printing beyond modeling, prototyping, and production applications to expose novice users to a new world of creativity, practicality, and problem solving. Working with New Age Electronics makes the exciting Dremel/HP Sprout bundle even more accessible, helping us reach new retailers and new users,” said John Kavanagh, president of Dremel.

“Consumers and professionals deserve innovative tools to unleash their creativity,” said Eric Monsef, Highly Immersive Computing, HP. “Combining Sprout with the Dremel Idea Builder provides an end-to-end immersive solution that democratizes the 3D creative process.”

The solution is available at www.sprout.hp.com and through other participating retail partners.
