Introduction

Prodigy Plus is designed with ultimate simplicity in mind. Prodigy

Plus enables you to build parts quickly, even if you’ve never used a

modeler before. Its display panel prompts you to press a few keys

to get you modeling quickly.

The system models with ABS plastic, so modeled parts are strong

and durable. ABS also ensures you’ll be able to drill, tap, sand, and

paint your creations.

Prodigy Plus is an innovative combination of proprietary hardware,

software, and material technology.

Congratulations…

you’ve made a smart choice!
