3D Pioneer Systems Inc. is both a diversified technology company and a creative design house. Our motivation is to deliver 3D printers that are unparalleled in consumer-friendliness, speed and print quality. We are also developing a portfolio of mobile games. Our mobile games will be released on all major platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. One of our visions is to facilitate the seamless integration of these two exciting worlds, enabling people to get closer to their favourite in-game characters by 3D printing them at home or having them made delivered to their door.
Our Hardware
The Wyatt
Most 3D Printers currently on the market require a high calibre of technical ability to operate well, making them inaccessible and frustrating for many. We imagine the near future of 3D printing to be as simple as clicking 'print'.
3D Pioneer Systems is developing a series of printers and software that simplifies the printing process. Our first model, “The Wyatt” boasts a full colour LCD touch screen and an inbuilt camera and integrates with our new Appaloza Cloud Platform.
With Appaloza, you will no longer need to write files to SD cards and walk them to your printer, or leave your laptop tied to your printer until your print is complete. Never again will you need to reboot your computers into obscure maintenance modes to install unsigned drivers.
It is the Internet age, and we strongly believe that 3D printers should be web enabled and as easy to access as a web page.
The Wyatt offers an unrivalled ability to monitor progress and the power to intervene and control printing remotely, even from your phone. If your printer runs out of filament, the printer will automatically pause and it can send you an email to let you know. It can even email you a photo of your latest creation once a print is completed.

If you have previously owned or worked with a 3D printer you are well aware that many prints jobs fail because the object being printed detaches from the bed before the printing has finished, or the object begins to peel and curl.
There are make shift solutions such as using blue painters tape on the bed or expensive poly-amide 'Kapton' tape. These tactics can help, but are not ideal solutions. Kapton tape has only moderate adhesion properties, and inevitably the blue painters tape tears and needs replacing and it leaves the printed object with a slightly rough surface.
To address these problems, we have developed our ABS and PLA pomades, a brush-on surface preparation that works brilliantly with our printers and most other printers too. www.pioneerpomade.com
Mobile gaming is projected to account for 34% of the global gaming market in 2017 compared to 20% in 2012. Games accounted for 32% of mobile app use in 2013 and 67% of tablet use. The mass acceptance of tablets, such as the iPad and Android equivalents, with their technical capabilities and simple user interface has enabled rich user experiences across a wide array of ‘addictive’ games. This has resulted in an explosion of growth in mobile gaming.
3D Pioneer are committed to developing an impressive portfolio of mobile games playable on all major platforms; including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Our first mobile game is scheduled to launch in May, 2014. We love creating moments that will truly inspire your imagination. One of our biggest ambitions is to develop mobile games that will be loved and played by anyone, no matter how young or old they are.
We also plan to connect the two worlds of mobile gaming and 3D printing by allowing people to design and have their favourite in-game characters 3D printed.
