Patience will be rewarded to those in under a dime is a screaming buying opportunity.
This is the type of stock that could see a 300%+ upside day
Growing company and great team behind it.
Very small float that is getting absorbed slowly but surely. Float is about 40 Million Insiders own a chunk.
2.0 Million Market Cap.
10 Million Market Cap brings the Price Per Share.

I honestly can see this going passed a 1.00 in the next couple years.
Way undervalued. Under the radar which is fantastic and its a small company run efficiently. I think 2017 will be the year this stock sky rockets. It could jump any day. under 2 million dollar market cap. Great products in the 3D printer field. Great personal and the STEAM aspect of them penetrating a huge potential sector of the 3D market market. STEAM stands for “Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics”
I own a few shares but don't know too much about this one. Got into it only because of the 3D craze. What do you guys think of it and why do you like this company?
JUNE 26-29th The International Society for Technology in Education conference in Denver is right around the corner. Tinkerine will be there to showcase our 3D printers and online platforms to aid the education sector. Drop by Booth 1250 and say hi!
3D Printing at Strawberry Hill Elementary School
Recently, grade 4-7 students from Strawberry Hill Elementary School used Project Ignite and TinkerCad to build, design and print their projects. Their teacher Curtis Wiebe is creating a culture where students design and print practical model to help with everyday lives instead of just consuming. After the students finalized their models, they printed it out on the DittoPro
"My opinion it looks like this 3 million dollar company is executing on the Multi Billion Educational Market"
tinkerine.com/investors/2016/TS_Corporate_Presentation_201602.pdf
"TKSTF has just released their financial results for the first quarter 2016, and while there are impressive numbers in terms of revenue and lowering of operating costs, we will undoubtedly be interested to see how they fare during the rest of the year, especially as sales for the educational sector—their area of expertise regarding 3D printing manufacturing, support, and sales—begin to pick up in later quarters. A significant net loss was reported here for Q1, but in comparison to last year, it’s an improvement. (Note: All sales figures are in Canadian dollars.)"
For Q1 2016, revenues of $171,689 are being reported. Looking back at the same period for 2015, this shows a 58% increase. As sales in the educational sector begin to pick up, this may well increase throughout the year.
For this quarter, a gross margin of $64,572 is reported, offering a 177% increase from last year.
Operating expenses have been reduced significantly, down 32% from last year as they’ve tightened the reins.
Net loss, at $311,223, was down significantly as well, considering last year’s first quarter net loss was reported at $475,027.
"The success of the Ditto Pro 3D printer so far has helped the company to shine very impressively, with the machine being well-reviewed and winning accolades. The successful institution of Tinkerine U allowed them to integrate into the educational sector, offering the much needed accessibility and affordability for 3D printing in the classroom. They did also experience some record growth, as we reported last year, and were able to make impressive headway, along with the inking of distribution deals and partnerships in the US."
"As the year heats up, we’ll hope to see this smaller yet multi-faced company, quite successful so far, implementing some new programs and injecting new energy into the company as 2016 plays out. So far this year we’ve seen the release of Tinkerine Suite Version 2.0, adding even more powerful features to the software’s minimal interface."
"Definitely aligned with the educational sector, Tinkerine Studios is famous for their commitment to STEM-based content and tools not only for classrooms in Canada, but comprehensively in North America, and around the world. Their development team is dedicated to offering curricula, apps, and support—along with providing 3D printing enthusiasts around the world the pleasure of creating on their user-friendly line of 3D printers with the Ditto Pro and the DIY Ditto and Litto 3D printer kits."

TKSTF, Tinkerine stock way down to .13, may be worth a new look with today's news:
VANCOUVER, March 12, 2015 /CNW/ - Tinkerine™ Studios Ltd. (TSXV: TTD and OTC Pink: TKSTF), Canada's leading manufacturer of desktop 3D printers and 3D printing educational content, announces the launch of its Tinkerine™ U content delivery platform. Tinkerine U will now provide, educators, students, and consumers with 3D printer training, lesson plans, and a collaboration forum where educators and developers can share content and best practices.
Tinkerine CEO Eugene Suyu stated, "We saw that no other 3D printer manufacturer was committed to providing adequate levels of training and support for 3D printing enthusiasts, especially educators. So we made the strategic decision to invest in training and content, both now and going forward, so that we can capture our share of the $86 billion education technology market and the broader $122 billion online learning industry."
Tinkerine U's launch follows a global pilot project where Tinkerine Studios engaged and co-developed content with educators. This extensive collaboration not only provided direction for Tinkerine U's content development, but also illuminated a significant roadblock inhibiting the widespread adoption of 3D printers within educational institutions, and the lack of training and support for educators. Many teachers have never had the opportunity to use 3D printers, hence impeding their ability to incorporate 3D technologies (e.g. scanning, modeling, printing, etc.) into their curriculum.
Liz Arum, Tinkerine U's education coordinator, who held a similar position at competitor Makerbot added, "By combining Tinkerine U training with Tinkerine Studios' intuitive, easy-to-use 3D printers, educators can learn 3D printing within a matter of hours. Educators can then leverage Tinkerine U's expanding portfolio of 3D printing projects for the classroom and focus on teaching the lessons and engaging their students rather than troubleshoot hardware and software issues. Tinkerine U provides workable solutions for educators' varying learning objectives."
Audrey Van Alstyne, District Principal, Learning Technologies for the Vancouver School Board commented "We are excited about the launch of Tinkerine U as 3D printing offers many possibilities for transforming learning, and making it both visible and engaging to students in the design process."
Tinkerine U's core technology differentiation is in its next generation online content delivery platform which delivers high quality, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) based content that includes: videos, lesson plans, online courses, technician training, workshops, and support for maker spaces, as well as community-driven collaboration via a peer to peer market place. Educators and enthusiasts will be incentivized to develop and share their own 3D print projects and content. A good portion of this will be free, with some premium content being offered in the future (pricing to be set by developers).
Tinkerine U is now available at www.TinkerineU.com and via a free iOS application on Apple's App Store. Both Tinkerine U and the iPad app were developed by Tinkerine Studios, makers of the Ditto™Pro 3D printer and recipient of numerous awards from MAKE: Magazine the 3D Printing industry's leading magazine.

While share price has been beat down- CFO sees Tinkerine turning cash flow (and possibly) EPS positive in 2015 given current sales trajectory of DittoPro printers.
Market cap of $6.5M is ridiculous here.
See article: https://3dprintingstocks.com/tinkerine-cash-flow-positive/
I like what they are doing so far but we need to see some serious sales and revenue to get the ball rolling.

Two Year Old Brand Delivers High Quality Customer Experience As It Competes Against The Industry's Biggest Players And Latest Upstarts To Bring 3D Printing To The Masses
VANCOUVER, Nov. 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Tinkerine™ Studios Ltd. (TSXV: TTD and OTC Pink: TKSTF) Canada's leading manufacturer and distributor of 3D printers, is pleased to announce that its Ditto™Pro printer was recently featured in MAKE Magazine's Annual 2015 Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing. The magazine tested 26 of the top desktop 3D printers for overall performance, notable print quality, and price.
The review highlighted the DittoPro's overall high performance during the extensive testing; and placed it consistently near the top in terms of reliability, software integration, upgradeability, number of features, price, and print quality (dimensional accuracy, surface finish, overhang capabilities, and more).
The magazine editors were quoted in their evaluation: "The DittoPro is a great-looking machine with print performance to match. It scored as well as some of the best printers we tested, while far less expensive than most of them... we believe that the combination of good design and easy to use software would make it ideal for new users."
Tinkerine CEO, Eugene Suyu commented "We are honoured to win MAKE Magazine's praise for a second year in a row. We know that when one factors in design, ease of use and overall performance, with price and customer experience, that the DittoPro remains one of the best value printers in the market today and is the perfect choice for schools and general users. We've built our business on providing great value and believe this will drive significant consumer adoption."

I did not know that tkstf are using OTC with Pink Sheets. That is really bad to buy shares without SEC. Also partnership with Softbank (OTCPK:SFTBF) that have pink sheets.
About OTC Pink Sheets:
Investors should be aware of four cautions. First, most OTC stocks do not meet the minimum requirements for most exchanges and do not file with the SEC. Therefore, credible and reliable fundamental data are not available for analysis. Second, historically Pink Sheets stocks are penny stocks and are often near-insolvent companies. Third, some stocks are illegitimate shell companies set up to scam investors by issuing press releases, and having “analysts” promote the stock and issue more worthless shares. Fourth, Pink Sheets only has one requirement for a company to list - a company needs to have one market maker quoting its stock. The listing companies do not have to provide any financial information at all.
One common scam involving OTC investors is the pump and dump scheme where promoters buy penny stocks, promote and push up the prices for other investors and then dump their stocks while the late investors are stuck with worthless stock that they overpaid to own. These stocks are often promoted in spam emails or on message boards and blogs.

How Small Cap 3-D Helps Investors Find Alpha: A Conversation With Tinkerine's EVP And CFO, Martin Burian
Oct. 21, 2014 11:08 AM ET | 1 comment | About: Tinkerine Studios Ltd. (TKSTF)
Disclosure: The author has no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)
Summary
Desktop technology is the key to expanded yield in the 3-D printing industry.
Alpha is available to investors if small-cap companies have a plan for market expansion.
Historic results do not necessarily factor when it comes to the 3-D printing sector because of the growth rates the industry is currently experiencing.
Martin Burian, EVP & CFO of Tinkerine (CVE: TTD), (OTCPK:TKSTF) has over eighteen years of investment banking experience in Canada with Haywood Securities, Bolder Investment Partners and Canaccord Capital. Burian has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in ?nance, business planning and execution for growth companies. As such, he is a CPA-CA and a Chartered Business Valuator and serves on the boards of several public companies.
Burian's focus has been on small and midcap companies, particularly helping growth companies obtain equity financing. The first seven years of his career, Burian was with KPMG initially in audit and accounting and then in the Firm's M&A advisory services. After KPMG, he joined a client company as its CFO and grew with it for two years including taking it public.
He has come full circle, having left investment banking to find himself back in the corporate development side. Tinkerine Studios is the first company he joined in June of 2013, helping the company to raise capital. When the Company went public in April of 2014 on the TSX Venture Exchange he became CFO.
Mike: What is the range for topline growth an investor can expect from your business strategy over the next four quarters?
Martin: Our objective is to achieve an annualized run rate of $5 million in sales by Q4 2015. We see an opportunity for our Company to achieve sales of $30 to $50 million in approximately three years by getting to a three percent to five percent share of the desktop 3-D printer market.
Mike: How do the current year-over-year results reflect, or not, the Tinkerine's success?
Martin: In Tinkerine's case historical operating results are not a good guide to our probable future results. We have just launched our flagship model 3-D printer, the Ditto Pro, over the past two months and our online education content. The latter, for which a pilot starts on October 27th, will see a commercial roll out by the second quarter of 2015. These two factors will make revenue over the coming quarters very different from the past.
Mike: How long do you foresee returns in the 3-D sector in general remaining in the 30 percent range?
Martin: We tend to agree with analysts that the whole 3-D printing sector, industrial and desktop, will continue to grow in the range of 30 percent a year. Within this our desktop sector has been growing 60 percent to 100 percent a year; and we believe 60 percent to 80 percent growth is sustainable, as this technology is increasingly implemented by schools, universities and technical colleges and "prosumers" - professional users like architects, engineers, product designers and artists. The wild card is if there were mass consumer adoption for general home use, then desktop growth rates would really skyrocket.
Mike: Are there any partnerships that the Tinkerine hopes to capitalize on in the future and--are these on the software, hardware or materials?
Martin: Yes, in early September we signed a MOU with Softbank (OTCPK:SFTBF) Commerce Korea Corp to be our master distributor for printers and education content in the Asia Pacific region, starting with Korea. This partnership should see a full roll out in 2015. Looking forward, we have a number of content partnerships discussions under way with large education focused companies and active dialogue with software companies, as well our on-going internal software development efforts. On the material side of things we have some developments that should be ready for announcement in the coming months.
Mike: What do you anticipate will differentiate Tinkerine from your competitors with regards to balance sheet objectives?
Martin: Tinkerine is publicly listed company and, beyond Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS) and 3D Systems Corp. (NYSE:DDD), most of our competitors are not. We have a supportive core of institutional shareholders and have access to expansion capital as our business grows.
Mike: How has your investor strategy helped grow Tinkerine thus far?
Martin: We secured investment from several tech and institutional investors, who liked our business strategy of building out an entire 3-D printing ecosystem. Our focus and commitment to education and online teacher training also resonated with them, and provides Tinkerine with a significant differentiation and advantage over competitors.
Mike: How does the Company's business strategy compare to Stratasys, Ltd. , Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) and/or 3D Systems Corporation?
Martin: These companies each have multi-billion dollar market caps. Autodesk is a software company that makes CAD, drafting and design programs, including several for 3 dimensional object design and drafting - Autodesk's applications are complementary to us, not competitive. Stratasys and 3D Systems Corp., are primarily industrial 3-DP companies with approx. 15 percent of their business coming from the desktop segment. Tinkerine differentiates itself from Stratasys and 3D Systems Corp. by being a pure play on the desktop segment and having a focus on edtech through our online education offering.
Thank you.

Strategic global rollout plan targeting key markets: Americas, North and South Asia, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa)
Three channel levels:
1. Best In Class - All-in-one solution (service depot, sales, and technical support)
2. Certified Dealers (AKA value-added resellers) - Trained and certified (by Tinkerine) sales people or agents
3. Strategic Alliance Partners (System integrators or independent software vendors) - Tinkerine provides hardware (printers) that may be bundled by software companies in a totally integrated solution

So, that would mean $999 Litto's cost is not too high. Couldn't find colors per print but on the product page, however it clearly displays an item with two colors as well. First iteration of product and will only get better. For a start up - the product and pricing is spot on.
Only $999.00 and take 2 colours: http://cubify.com/en/Cube
If you think the cost is high, I suggest you take a look at the entry level's competitors. The Litto is fairly priced and cheaper than it's competition in some cases
Yes I agree! No financial and liquidity. I would not buy stocks that do not have financial information. Also the printers cost too high.
Hopefully they will improve!

Doesn't look good.
This is going to run soon, look at the experience of the people involved here (many former Makerbot's):

Sound good! That would be good if they will get a partnership soon.
Evidently the Korean market sees it differently. Price is not always the kicker...would a mercedes in one color only still be worth less than a ford? Tinkerine & SBCK Reach Distribution Deal in Asia Pacific Market – Schools to Benefit
