Open Source?
That would be an very interesting addition to the open source3D printing community ;)
This is a bad idea.
Who want to spend little over a year to build a 3D printer when a kit like the Printrbot Makers Edition is put together in a few hours to a couple of days.
Saving the money...
Nozzle diameter 0.8-1.5mm???
Anything known about control software/firmware?
Fortunately patents like this would not even be considered in the rest of the world as far as I know.
It would be interesting to know which projector / the resolution he used to print the parts pictured in the article.
When we get to know the price picture it may be interesting to start a discussion about these scanners...
The spec stated that :
"Filament Tolerances: 1.75mm (+ .1/ – .1) & 3mm (+ .1/ – .1). with nozzle change."
Is that a typo? Your competition claims +/-0.04 to +/-0.05mm at most.
Take the way-back machine to 1980 and consider what the introduction of the PC did to the emerging industry during the following 10 years...
Both good and bad things came out of that, history...
From the example on their home page I realize there is be a number of parts that may benefit from being produced this way.
It's however NOT a replacement for most composite parts made "the old...
How do they cut the carbon fibre when the head moves between extrude paths?
I'm quite certain the strength of a 3D printed part (for example a curved shell like a nose cone, a wing tip or something like that) with carbon strands embedded in the filament never can compete...

Great incentive I'm in!!!
Damned Now I not only have to get a twitter account, I have to learn how to use it as well...
Cheerio for now - Björn
Even if it was (short) strands of fibre in the filament, which I guess would increase the risk of clogging the print head substantially. The fibre would only follow the layer path of the print...
I'm curios about the actual benefit of carbon fibre filament.
As far as I know a lot of the strength of composites which usually use carbon (or glass) fibre weaves comes from the way the different...
It have to be during the late -90's. With the price of the machines at the time I finally bought a Roland Modela 3D milling machine in 1998...
