Re: pic: Direct Digital Manufacturing! (DDM)

The cost to fill the entire machine(1200es) with ABS is right around $6,000 or more than the entire Desktop Factory. www.desktopfactory.com

If I were to print an entire block the machine would eat through 21.5 cartridges of material. See here: http://photos.printo3d.com/GalleryFi...0&photo=970627

If anyone wants to calculate how many miles long the wire must be? The ABS filament is about .070" in diameter and the block would be 1200 cubic inches.

I would have to draw up a block to see how long it would take, but probably 1.5 WEEKS!
