Reply to "Another possible advance w 3d printing"

BIGKID,

we employ that technology. It is great, but there is more to it. When creating items that are not free stl files, then you have to create a 3D model in CAD, then when printing the files you need to put it on supports to orient the part file correctly or you will get a failed print.  Our turntable detail parts pack that we sell are printed this way.  The technology is very cool though and we also use it to print our lost wax patterns for parts also. One other note is that the liquid resins are pricey and vary greatly between manufactures. Side note, they have a strong odor to them and we have had to put in a ventilation system to vent fumes to outdoors.

Here is a set of parts off print bed with the supports

and here is our UP arch printed in wax assembled ( this has multiple parts making up this arch)
