dmk Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I want one of these! http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/08/makerbot-digitize/ Forget about bubbles in your resin, pressure pots, rainy days ruining your castings. Just scan and print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Stuff like this will be mainstream very soon. Just you watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shucky Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I read about this a week ago. This is very cool indeed. Wouldn't scanning an object also play a part though in its printed resolution somehow? As in, if the scanning is done at a lower resolution your part will print with a lesser quality to it? Very cool tech though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term for that is "generational loss." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 When the $30,000 hand-held units that will scan to within 1/10,000" accuracy get into this price range, then we'll truly have reason to celebrate. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
