I've never heard of 3D printing before. I went to your website and checked it out. This is very interesting, thanks for sharing.

3D printing is good stuff. I have a printer at my school an the only downside of it is breaking away all of the plastic that surrounds the image. Nice job though.

also called "rapid-prototyping" and "stereolithography"

Maybe it's just me but I don't see the man.........

Also isn't stereolithography with a laser in a vat of liquid. This is 3d printing.

I need one of those.

I believe that the statue portion is cocooned within the support structure, which has yet to be removed in this picture.

We have one of those in our Intro to Engineering Design class...Its pretty neat but its all delicate...You can't do too much without the small parts breaking but the big parts are kind of sturdy. Neat though. Looks like my friend's chess piece. He forgot to dimension all of the parts and it ended up being like 2" diameter with 2 spots that had like .2" diameter so it broke before we even took it off the black board thing, except yours is the opposite.

He is fully detailed so I had to censor him. :eek:

I took about two hours to break away all the grey support structure.

There are many forms of rapid prototyping.

FDM, SLS, SLA, 3DP, and LOM.

I would be here all night typing out how they all work, so it would probably be best to Google them if you want to know more about each.

Fused Deposition Modeling, Selective Laser Sintering, Stereolithography, 3D Printers and Laminated Object Manufacturing.

I happen to have a FDM machine. Basically its the same as a 3 axis milling machine except that it adds material in .01" layers rather than cutting material away.

There is NO programing involved with it. If the file has no major problems or errors, the Catalyst 3D printing software writes all the toolpaths.

I wanted to start a thread several weeks ago on how they work, but I never finished it.

I am juggling three things at the same time. Working to pay my personal/business bills, running my business, and trying to keep active flying my RC aircraft.

Well, I always say it's a good day when you learn something new! I told my husband today that if I were 30 years younger I'd definitely be studying CAD, CNC, and this kind of stuff.

My goal is to educate everyone I can about this technology and gain customers by doing so!:)

Hopefully everyone should soon be seeing my ad banner here on CD.

so, i send you how many pictures of our robot, and you charge me how much to send finished product back to us?

Well if it can be "sparsed" www.printo3d.com/solidvssparse.html then its obviously going to be much cheaper, but it will probably cost more than what the rules allow.

I'm not sure it's going to have the functionality you are looking for though.:eek:

Oh, and its only going to be 12" tall after I scale it.

Here is what the software looks like if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

It is not official yet, but a final version of this may soon be appearing right here on CD. http://printo3d.com/cdadbanner.jpg

I took a Solid Works class at IVY tech. The teacher said if we get all the assignments done we could submit something for the 3D printer.
I was the only one who got everything done on time :D Actually I was a full month ahead of the class. I bought the student version of Solid Works.
My 3D project was fairly simple. I made a Rook. But not just any Rook. This one had stairs leading to the front door, windows and ramparts. It stood about three inches high.
I got an A in the class.

We at AndyMark have used Brad's 3D printing services recently, and we loved his work. He is quick and reliable. If anyone out there needs their design proved out by having a 3D print made, Brad is your guy.
