What do you mostly use 3D Printing For?

[dklassen]

Started as a hobby about two and a half years ago with a Printrbot Simple Metal. Printed whatever caught my fancy mostly found on Thingiverse back then. I began to get more and more requests for small commercial type work so I quickly moved up to a Makergear M2 and turned it into a part time business. Also adding a Prusa i3 MK2 here in a few weeks.

From there I started getting requests asking for 3D scans as well so I put together a David based SLS scanner closely modeled after their SLS-2. Basically the same system.

I'm no 3D modeler that's for sure but I could see that I had a gap between the scanner and printer so I decided to make the investment and purchase SpaceClaim for reverse engineering applications.

That in it self is quite a learning curve but I'm making progress and hope to add 3D modeling and reverse engineering to my bag of tricks at least at a simple level for now.
