3-almost prime analog of primorial (A002110). The semiprime analog of primorial is A112141. Equivalent for product of what A086062 is for sum. Bigomega(a(n)) = the number of not necessarily distinct prime factors of a(n) = A001222(a(n)) = A008585(n) = 3*n.

FORMULA
a(n) = Prod[from i = 1 to n] A014612(i).
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 933120 = 8 * 12 * 18 * 20 * 27 = the product of the first 5 values of the 3-almost primes = 2^8 * 3^6 * 5, which has 3*5 = 15 prime factors (with multiplicity).
a(20) = 137199755075271237225676800000000 = 8 * 12 * 18 * 20 * 27 * 28 * 30 * 42 * 44 * 45 * 50 * 52 * 63 * 66 * 68 * 70 * 75 * 76 * 78 * 92 = 2^26 * 3^15 * 5^8 * 7^4 * 11, which has 20*3 = 60 prime factors (with multiplicity).
