The Chinese manufacturer brought to the exhibit, which opened on Monday, four models of their 3D printer to target various market segments as they are sold in different price-points.

In an interview with Xinhua News, FlashForge sales director Jane Liu shared that their products are "very popular in the US and Europe."

"As a matter of fact, 90 percent of our 30,000 units sold in 2015 are purchased by customers outside of China," Liu disclosed. "Our most popular model has been a bestseller on Amazon.com for two years continuously."

Referring to their Creator Pro model, the report revealed that it has been featured on Amazon's product page for the best-selling printer, wherein 80 percent of the more than 500 it got were positive.

One customer even noted that "The FlashForge Pro is a pleasure to use, but at an impressively low price. What's not to love."

When asked about their strategy towards becoming successful as a Chinese 3D printer manufacturer, Liu cited quality as their utmost strategy.

"The key to this success is our focus on quality," the sales executive stated. "We have consistently provided top-notch quality machines, which allow us to gather a substantial loyal customer base."

Of the 63 participating companies in the US trade show, more than a dozen are Chinese companies that are into the manufacturing of 3D printer.
