Rapid Prototyping SL, SLS, FDM, LOM
I’m very excited to be getting the machines to do this kind
of work. It seems very interesting to me
to be able to produce these proto types this quick. After watching the videos I was still
confused on how they work exactly. The
3D printing seems to be the most logical to me.
The powder layers becoming solid from the laser of some sort was cool
too though, I just hate that you have to scrape away all the left overs after. The
other is coil fed and lays down a material in layers, or that’s how I took it. But
this doesn’t have quite the finish leaving a stair step surfaces on some parts. The makerbot is sweet! I wish I had enough money to buy one, my
project would be tight! I like the idea
of all these people/artist/engineers/small business owner/ etc. get to use
these on their own, creating whatever they want! I can definitely see a future in this
technology. I’m sure soon every design
program will have a few of these for students to use. And I think J leno has something like this to
create exact parts for his old car collection.
