3D printing for those interested.

Just come across this on a Adventurebikerider, I know there's been a thread on 3d printing recently on here and this may be of interest to some.

3D Printing: Building the 1927 Miller 91 race car - YouTube

I want to work there!!!

Fantastic that - thanks, really good stuff.
Interesting the limitations of some of the processes - like the ink-jet depositing system - how could it 'print' a table? The legs are easy, but there is nothing on which to print the table-top..??
Loved the rub-down Letraset 3D at the end!!
So, when do we get this printing metal not plastic??

One of my flying mates works with this kit , he is making stuff for the f1 teams , I've seen model helicopters fuselage he has done , the attention to detail is awesome

Wow brilliant video.

Thanks for posting.

Spectacular!

I have used SLA and SLS prototypes before and sort of understand the computing of the models before printing, but to see a model of that detail and accuracy is phenomenal.

Great post, thanks

It's magic how the car's body rises out of the liquid.

I sooooo need one of them machines at work!! Will be invaluable for the vintage resto jobs we do where you cant get certain plastic parts!

Now need to butter the boss up!

You don't need to print in metal. You print in wax and then cast in metal Using lost wax process. Been around for ten years in the jewellery industry.

How long before we all have access to 3D printers to print off our own heli parts?
Exciting times.

Just seen on the bbc raf tornado jets have been flying with parts made by this process

My brother has been using 3D printer for some time now & his latest project is building a Sub that works on & under water, and just does it from home.
