Ultimate 3D Printing Giveaway Entry
- What is the most interesting thing you have seen done with a 3D printer or 3D printing technology?
So many people are doing amazing things with 3D printers it's hard to pick one. From medical, automotive, aerospace it is hard to find a industry that hasn't been touched by the innovative use of 3D printing. So far, first-hand, the most interesting thing I have seen done was when Local Motors printed live at the IMTS show in Chicago this year. It was amazing to see them showcase their methods and actually drive a 3D printed car from the event!
- If you could build your dream 3D printer, what would it include and what would it do? Let your imagination run wild!
Having come from industry where more traditional subtractive fabrication methods are used (CNC Routing, Water-jet, Steel rule Die-cutting, etc.) I would like to see a machine that successfully uses both additive and subtractive methods in a desktop scale. It could have 5-axis robotic arm with modular tools for printing, routing, laser engraving, inspection, etc.
