I have had one of the printers at work for about 3 years. We use it to make sample package components such as bottles and trays. The parts are moderately brittle, but are great to see what the final piece will look like. Having a customer sign off on an actual part as opposed to a drawing is invaluable befoe cutting very expensive production tooling. We also use the machine to make molds for thermoforming small quantities of sample parts. Basic input is a 3D file from a program such as SolidWorks, etc.
The really neat thing is that there are other types of machines that make an actual metal part using laser sintering of metal powders. This is pretty expensive technology now, but in a few years, it may be the way that most small quantity parts are actually made. JoeO |

you don't need a fancy machine to do this.
I've been working with something similar for 3d scanning, and much more accessible here in my studio. Can't share the software though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
