Wingate Dunross, Inc.

My new client in Ventura, CA has retained me on a set of exciting new searc=
hes in the field of 3D Printing, one of the hottest growth fields in the hi=
gh-technology world.

Imagine a world where everybody can create.
Imagine the fastest and the most accurate 3D Printer.
Imagine a 3D Printer really easy-to-use.
A 3D Printer perfect for the industrial and professional users.
A 3D Printer driven by an Intelligent System, by a Cognitive System.
The Best Technology in The Best Design.
And now we need your help.

About My Client:
My Client is a 3D printing startup that integrates the latest exponential t=
echnologies in components, sensors, optical systems and chemistry to apply =
Moore=E2=80=99s Law to a new, proprietary 3D Printing technology. The resul=
t is a desktop, professional 3D Printer that takes 3D Printing from hours t=
o minutes making it FASTER, with a LARGER build volume, at HIGHER resolutio=
ns and a LOWER cost. They're doing this with a user experience and a design=
 oriented approach making their 3D technology elegant and compact.

Their 3D printer has been designed to offer the best and the smartest ultra=
-fast 3D Printing experience, from a clean cartridge system to a complete c=
ognitive hardware and stand-alone technology that let users adopt this mach=
ine quickly in any kind of environment and for any type of usage.
