dprodanic Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Yes I think so. Do you work with that? Regulary? I'd really like to buy such a machine. 31937[/snapback] I work on the DimensionBST768 3D printer for 3 years and I have a lot of experience in other 3d printing technologies. It all depends on which would be use-purpose of 3d printer. There are many different materials to suit a particular purpose. You should also pay attention to the resolution and print speeds. You should take into consideration aftertreatment of printed models. Due to various printing technologies, supporting material (witch I do not see that in the case of Makerbot) in some cases is removed manually and in some cases chemically. Sometimes this can create problems, especially in a manual removal of supporting material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysinitsyn Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Do you work with that? 31937[/snapback] No I don't have a deals with 3d printers. But last week I investigated some 3d-printing services. In general what I think: the quality of printers like this is enough for prototypes, not for end (real) parts. There is the simmilar printer: http://pp3dp.com He using the same technology: extrude melted ABS plastic like of confectionery syringe. The web site have some videos and photos. A resellers from Australia and UK are offer free samples of printed parts. So, Dragan (dprodanic) can open for you more tricks from real life in 3d printing, than I'm.
