UM-Bot Posted October 15, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2013 An ambitious new project aims to use 3D printing technology to produce objects made out of metal. The ability to produce physical three-dimensional objects on demand from a printing device promises to revolutionize manufacturing processes in a variety of different industries. Low cost 3D printers are even set to make their way in to people\'s homes as the technology improves and prices come down.

wuhugm Posted October 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2013 for metal I guess they will use the block cutting method rather than molding liquid/powder metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted October 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2013 3D metal printing has already been happening. Some of it quite seriously too. There's even already a home bot for metal- it made it's debut at the New York Maker Faire this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted October 15, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Well 3D printed guns don't work, but I'm sure 3D printed metal ones will. Just what the world needs Edited October 15, 2013 by paperdyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted October 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Well 3D printed guns don't work, but I'm sure 3D printed metal ones will. Just what the world needs Well yes, it could be used for that. There are a handful of metal printing companies out there. It can also be used for this... http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-rocket-seds/29306/ 3D printed rocket The bot article was condensed badly I think. If you click the source to the BBC link, it's a much better and fuller story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikko-kun Posted October 15, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Well 3D printed guns don't work, but I'm sure 3D printed metal ones will. Just what the world needs I agree. It's a shame gunpowder aint metal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartmut Posted October 31, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Whatever it is right now, or is not not, does not matter. 3D printing will revolutionise the global manufacturing industry just as the Industrial Age did about 100 years ago. And a bit further ahead biological 'spare parts' will be available too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
