  • Seth is for insects · 1 year ago
    This is very very sweet. I hadn't thought of using 3d printing for lost-wax casting.

    I *have* to get around to building my 3d printer kit... or buying a nice one...

    Excellent list! We use a full colour 3d printer to produce scale models and maquette objects for architects and the real estate industry. The love the way we visualize their concepts.

    There is a 3D printing rapid prototype system on the market everyone should take a look at. It is the Objet PolyJet 3D printer. My company owns the PolyJet Eden500V systems. The PolyJet 3D printer is a high resolution rapid prototype system that produces 3 Dimensional models made from Acrylic photopolymers and rubber elastomers.

    That is a great system. Have you done any interesting projects with it? If so I'd love to write them up.

    Best,

    Generally, digital artists prefer to use file formats which do not use destructive compression. In the case of interlaced images it is particularly important that no degradation of the output image occur. Thus, the preferred file formats for 3D printing are PICT, TIFF, and SGI. The Linux program, interlace, uses the TIFF format only, and the Macintosh program, Interlace, uses the PICT format only

    The entry barrier for 3D printing is a lot higher than 2D printing and the likes of Ponoko's Photomake, but creation tools like the Shapeways creator are helping to bring it down. The onus is on the designer/web developer to create the system that allows a customer to easily interact and customize the product. It's only a matter of time before this sort of thing becomes more mainstream.

    The 3d technology has helped in various fields. Specially in medicine and research. I have seen many National Geographic videos in which they used 3d technology to monitor the movements of different objects. The jewelry sellers use 3d printing alot to show their products appearance as it changed the view of things completely.

    We are starting to use 3D printers for our modelling concepts and also on our large format outdoor signs that use 3D elements, The quality is getting better and better although still can be a bit variable

    3D printers are getting better all the time and I am started to use them in a variety of situations, however I am finding it difficult to find a respected, reliable provider in the UK - any ideas?

    Well i believe that Many of the examples so far are somewhat gimmicky or decorative, However in some industries 3D printing is displacing traditional manufacturing entirely. In the left hand picture a surgical knee replacement implant has been designed and manufactured to fit a patient’s joint perfectly. On the right, high tolerance engine parts were printed using a process called “Electron Beam Melting” and finished with traditional machining processes. While not the norm these uses begin to suggest what is possible in medicine and industry.

    Well 3D World of Warcraft characters are cool, but these tools have the power to help save lives. Surgeons are using 3d printers to print body parts for reference before complicated surgeries. Other 3D printers are used to create bone grafts for patients who have suffered traumatic injuries. Looking further in the future scientist are working on PRINTING replacement organs. Personal Fabrication indeed!...

    I myself think this is great that you can do 3D printing. This is a great article on 10 things you can do with 3D printing. Keep up the great work.

    Doing some really cool stuff with scanning of nature, like the morel mushroom you'll see on the site. Took the scanned mushroom and converted into 3D digital data, then hollowed out the inside to make into a truly unique LED candle cover.
