Title: 3D Printers. Post by: Hydrobond on June 08, 2004, 07:58:22 AM These things are amazing.  They print anything in all three dimensions.
www.zcorp.com  Here are some sample pics: (http://www.zcorp.com/images/gallery/406/circle.JPG) http://www.zcorp.com/images/gallery/406/Quincy%20Compressor.JPG (http://www.zcorp.com/images/gallery/406/canyon.JPG) Look Ma! I printed a new engine for the car! http://www.zcorp.com/images/gallery/810/Blue%20engine%20block-810.JPG (http://www.zcorp.com/images/gallery/810/engine-2.JPG) And here is the printer.

They are horribly huge and break the tables.
on topic: That thing is awesome. You could print a 3d printer with that, and than print a 3d printer with that printer and use those machines to print an army of printers and then take over the world. Title: Re: 3D Printers.

Title: Re: 3D Printers. Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 09, 2004, 03:11:00 AM Incredible. What kind of program does one need to print those? Do they come with their own software, or do most 3D modeling programs support them?
Title: Re: 3D Printers. Post by: Hydrobond on June 09, 2004, 08:49:41 AM I think it will print from any CAD/CAM software. But I am sure the drivers are hell to setup with that thing.
