I saw this on the Colbert Report a while back. Awesome technology, be ever better when the price comes down. Perfect for making smaller RC parts.

3D printers have been around for a number of years. They get better all the time.
One reason you dont hear about them much is $$$$. The printers are insanely expensive and the finished parts are too. Thats probably a $1000+ crescent wrench

Im curious about that too.
A few years ago the scan only measured the external dimensions. All the internals had to be entered by hand using 3D cad. Thats part of why it was so expensive. I dont know if that s still true or if the scanners are that much better. X-ray? Ultra sound? Magnetic resonance? Microwave radar? Star Trek Tri-Corders? All of the above? |
