Title: New toys on the horizon Post by: TwistedPatience on June 08, 2011, 06:03:34 PM Seems that my company where impressed with what the 3D printer has done in the last 18 months so have decided that they might get a new one, only this time one that prints ABS plastic, which means that the parts will be much stronger than the plaster and superglue that we have been using.
WooHoo I love my job (sometimes) ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: New toys on the horizon Post by: Cabman77 on June 08, 2011, 07:47:10 PM ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: New toys on the horizon Post by: Manky Monkey on June 08, 2011, 09:17:01 PM Coo, is that one of those futuristic gizzmos that makes 3 dimensional objects by lazer cutting them from blocks of plastic, working from computer drawings?
Or have I just made that up? Title: Re: New toys on the horizon Post by: TwistedPatience on June 09, 2011, 06:06:44 AM No mate ;D it's an extruder uses a filament of plastic which is heated until molten and places beads where you want them.
