Rapid Prototyping Right Before Your Eyes is presented by Print To 3D.

www.printo3d.com

This 3D printer is a Dimension 768 BST.

The cup is 1 inch tall and 1/2 inch in diameter. The base or floor of the cup is 40 thousands of an inch thick as are the sidewalls of the cup. The stem of the cup is 100 thousands of an inch in diameter.

This machine uses Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM for short.

The machine is basically a large hot glue gun!

  • rapid? that took 9 minutes!

  • @SuperNoobdude Let's see how long it take you to make one accurately by hand!

  • @team222badbrad Let's use a machine tool... i do a solid steel cup in 2 minutes... It's not against you, but even if we are in 2011, i think these 3D printers still are gadgets. in addition, am i really alone to think which this printer does not do an accurate job ?

  • @Sp4s12 This is a machine tool. You are forgetting all the time it takes to program, setup tooling, finding material, etc. Sure a CNC can pump out several of these in the time it takes to make one, but that is after you do the setup. Also this is only a simple part to make. They are far from gadgets. Of course they do accurate jobs.

  • make a new camera with the machine

  • You sound like a nerd

  • all that tech involed in 3D printing and your filming with a 1980's Nokia phone?! :(

  • @SuperNoobdude 9 minutes is actually fuck all compared to most 3-axis cnc mills.

    Usually you're looking at about 2 hours+

    >Find website with an awesome object you want

    >print it

    >own it

    That's the purpose.

    I'm a transformer collector...I'd be printing off parts and assembling/painting new figures all day every day.

  • @Sp4s12 And what if I just want a quick prototype/ mockup? And industry slowly gearing 3d printing as a process for mass manufacturing. Your opinion is worthless and reeks of ignorance. Im not sure of the quality of this printer and theres a possibility it is on low res, But SLA printers for the past couple years can print out parts of extremely high quality ( texture equivalence of a .1mm with extremely high tolerances)

  • how much did the machine cost?

  • Video quality is poor! I think you are lie! that is not a rapid prototyping! it is a automatic cake design frosting!

  • Is it me or does this guy sound alot like "Little Nicky" !?!?!?

  • @team222badbrad Still its really long and if it was clay I might be able to be quicker.

    Sorry I just really wanted to reply to that.
