In 2016 Sindoh, in conjunction with SolidWorks, introduced 3D-printing software which enables users to 3D print using a CAD program without slicer software.[18] The company entered into a partnership with SolidWorks, and developed an "Apps for Kids" program in 2017. This has allowed children to 3D print easily and from the cloud.[19] And, Sindoh launched 3DWOX 2X. The 3D printer market can be distinguished from the personal consumer market and professional market. 3DWOX 2X was developed in the middle of the market, Prosumer.[8]
