Joe Handley Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I keep forgetting to bring it up, but I was at the Microsoft Store in theWoodfield Mall in Schaumburg last friday and they were selling a 3D printer for $2199.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Wouldn't 3D printing allow for hollow exhaust pipes without having to fabricate them from styrene or aluminum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking if they can do an aorta, a hollow pipe shouldn't be too tough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 A 3D printer is going up to the space station so they can make parts on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 A 3D printer is going up to the space station so they can make parts on site. Not surprised, there was something I saw few years back that they were talking about doing that as the tech improved tothe point it could be used to make things like wrenches.

JohnU Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Got a Travers Tool Co. catalogue the other day. They are selling a 3D printer by Afinia that is accurate to 0.15mm (.006 in.). Not sure if this is close enough for 1/25 scale but larger scale might do the trick with a little finishing work. The price seems within reason at $1599.00. You could probably spend more outfitting a mini machine shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Greg.... that is awesome with the car body. Totall cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Not cost-effective (at $50k) for the home-modeler unless you just won the lottery, but here's a machine developed specifically for making wax patterns. Perfect for prototyping directly to molds or tooling. http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aabmmz.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
