3D PRINTING

"hoax" is sick btw

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?

From what?

Material? Like print unlimited amounts?

My idea is based on the assumption that you'd be given material on purchase

Already covered this lol free ounces for everyone

But if you printed material you would use up all the original material, you wouldnt gain anything.

i think some people are getting their heads twisted. it prints the object out of the resin they have, it doesnt clone the object

It's not a Star Trek. And even they don't make stuff out of nothing. They still have to restock raw materials.

what is to stop you from printing more materials?

buildings could print themselves into concrete

in this thread, the laws of conservationism apparently don't exist.

[incnic]

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

[sigbowls]

we need another sub and amp print it out

[badger]

???

profit

one of my cad/abs plastic shits got me published...

[bright maroon]

They generally do it with either wax - to be cast

or various plastics...that are relatively finished straight from the machine..
but have to be soaked in chemicals to remove the support materials

They can also do it with powdered metal and ceramics that are lazer flash fired to fuse..

but all of this is ultra mega expensive...and a huge pain in the ass...



It's all too glossy and pseudo-perfect for my taste..

and I have zero faith that someone is going to hire me to sit around and jockey these machines..
not to mention..working on this kind of stuff all day would make me sick...does make me sick

[bright maroon]

...the technology does have practical uses

...like in customizing hip replacements


but when they talk about it replacing shopping - that is just ridiculous

I personally don't want to have to do all that work to get my what - litterbox

[incnic]

kind of ruined the thread

[bright maroon]

..I'm sorry

But this pisses me off...

everyone talks about sustainability - and then wants this shit...

It's like the humvee of the design world.

wwhhaa..but you can make this...
Yeah - well so can a 12 year old with a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment
