Need a part for your Cobra?

That technology isn't that new. We first came across this ~3 years ago. In our business we model in 4D civil, structural, mechanical and architectural projects to then develop conventional drawings for construction. These 3D printers allow us to print the models in real life for concept, presentation or development.

Heat fused ABS plastic is the latest medium for high strength applications - as in that functional wrench. Next phase is laser fused aluminum oxides that will by-pass the casting stage in going from computer model to machined product.

Doug,

Not trying to start an argument but just a question. I can see the advantage of your new technology, but can you absolutely guarantee that the new part or whatever you are making is going to work and fit if it requires exact tolerances? I have never seen a computer that the operator or the machine can't make a mistake once in a while and in this case it only has to be one so small they you couldn't see it with the eye if you are casting precision parts for something. I do think going straight to the part wold be great as it should, but probably won't, cut the cost some.
