3D PRINTING

[hugh]

you are talking sciene wit a banner in ur sig that says:
'filthy digital bass music'

the laws of good taste certainly appear to be wavering IMO

actually it is a label that I had a tune out on. But seeing as we are making retarded conclusions drawn from very little substance, you sir are a total shithead.

[bright maroon]

maybe I'm lacking the type of vision needed to buy into this...ubertechno

and I should just leave it
figure out how to make bread and - high quality sheep cheese


I wanted to have a community studio where kids could come and make art..
- but I get to school and they want to teach me this...

they tell me I won't be able to afford the insurance on a community studio..

so - design a coffee maker to match a lexus.


I'm going to go stuff my face with donuts now...tears running down pudgy donut stuffed cheeks

[bright maroon]

...but if your really into this stuff..I'm not against seeing it

[incnic]

you still havent broached why you think a 3drpinting cant print more material to make more printers?

[jugo]

because the resin, time, and energy you use is too expensive to make it worthwhile.
it's cheaper, quicker and more energy effecient to buy one.

I seen this in a newspaper about 8 years ago. It was showing how you could print chess pieces from models you can download online.

Eventually this will become the norm.

Wait until nano engineering is widespread. That's when shit gets interesting!

[sigbowls]

with weed how do you print out something thats moist

This is a wind-up - but I'll play along...

you can only make things in wax, plastic, metal, and ceramic - with these machines...

It's a rapid prototyping technology -BUT they are trying to make the object produced the actual product..

exp. to machine a die to produce a watch face...it costs about 15K

[GV1]

When they are able to break and object into atoms and reproduce those atoms then anything will be possible. But something like that is dangerous so chances are we'd never see something like that because Government would lock it away ... until some clever kid discovers it.

It'll be like startrek where things appear from the air.

Because then the printer would be like god, making stuff up out of nothing.

[Bazzle09]

There is a 3d printer that can print 90% of its own parts. The remainder are the print head and belts. But it still needs a resource. it could make itself but it wouldn't know where to get the materials. when it does then its all theirs.

[fractal]

dope stuff really. remember when these were on the colbert show earlier in the year

[zerbaman]

I wish it did but i dont thinks so. You'd still have to get the materials and lets say further down the line you can print anything, its a hot day so you print a t shirt and ice cream, maybe there'd be different software for printing different products.

Unless there was a big overhaul of the economy, I think someone would find a way to make money out of this.

Couldn't you just print the material?

^ this

what is to stop you from printing more materials?
it could feasibely do wood, metal and concrete

buildings could print themselves into concrete

It's already been said that you need material to print material

[incnic]

dont understand why it can use bits of itself to make more of itself
like the grains that grow organically then stop and split and get used again

the machine can make its own materials

[hugh]

because it can't change the atomic properties of the starting materials. I don't understand how you don't get this (unless you literally have no idea what elements etc. are)

Grains don't grow themselves. They require sunlight, carbon dioxide, minerals, etc to grow.

Can't tell whether you're trolling or not.

[zerbaman]

The grains aren't organic, they're synthetic. They don't grow, the NEED to be made. You're insisting on dividing by zero

[badger]

do you think we could maybe print something that could see the glaringly obvious fact that nic is trolling? (as per usual...)

[ComfiStile]

Let me know when i can order a big mac online and print it off.

[zerbaman]

Apparently you can print stuff with chocolate
