Aleph Objects achieved 2,782 percent three-year sales growth with their company's award-winning LulzBot line of desktop 3D printers, parts, and plastics, leading all computer hardware companies. Their business model focuses around the development of Open-source hardware for 3D printing with full support for Free and open-source software.The company is most well known for its LulzBot 3D printer product line although using some extruded aluminum railing and other mass-production components still remains true to RepRap principles by having many components 3D printable. Due to its fully open source hardware and open source software design, the LulzBot has received "Respects Your Freedom" certification from the Free Software Foundation. In addition, the Lulzbot printers are often used in open-source tool chains on open source projects. For example, Superior Enzymes used a LulzBot TAZ in fabricating an open source photometer for nitrate testing.

Similarly, LulzBot 3D printers are used in projects to create low-cost prosthetic hands. Due in a large part to relative ease of maintenance and use, LulzBot 3D printers are one of several desktop 3D printers that have been recommended for libraries by reviewers.
