My understanding is that it doesn't have a target market, it has a target
audience. Based on posts made here on Lugnet by Jake McKee, I don't believe
they plan to charge money for it (although I could have misinterpreted what he

age of 7 or 8. Note also that this beta seems to lack many necessary features.
At least on my computer, you can't rotate parts in any direction, which makes it
pretty much impossible to create any useful models. If you look at their
screenshot, you will see that it was taken with a different version that
contains more functionality.
