http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing Timelapse video of a hyperboloid object print (made of PLA ) using a RepRap “Prusa Mendel” 3D printer for molten polymer deposition. 3D printing or additive manufacturing [ 1 ] is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. 3D printing is achieved using additive processes , where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material. [ 2 ] 3D printing is considered distinct from traditional machining techniques ( subtractive processes ) which mostly rely on the removal of material by drilling, cutting etc. 3D printing is usually performed using a materials printer, and since 2003 there has been large growth in the sales of these machines.

3D printing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://www.reprap.org/wiki/RepRap RepRap is a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap can print those parts, RepRap is a self-replicating machine - one that anyone can build given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend ...

Grande Yellow Cat Fixup It's a toy tiger. Printed on a makerbot replicator. I started with the grande yellow cat source, but ReplicatorG couldn't render it to gcode and print, so I used rhino to clean up the model and remove the grass base that's on the model but not in the original picture. Tail is still too thin to print properly. http://www.makerbot.com/

CupCake CNC - MakerBot Industries

http://wiki.makerbot.com/cupcake As the CupCake CNC is a MakerBot, it contains all of these elements. The 3D positioning system is a standard cartesian (X,Y,Z) system. In our particular configuration, the build platform moves in the X and Y directions and toolhead is mounted on the Z stage which moves up and down. The X and Y axes are belt driven, and the Z axis is screw driven. There have been some changes to the design of the kit since we first released the Cupcake CNC.

Freedom Of Creation | Collection News | Pioneers in 3D Printed Designs

http://www.freedomofcreation.com/collection Until now 3D printing has been considered expensive and only available to a selected few. Freedom Of Creation plans to change this by selling it’s design collection as well as 3D printers at 9 Bijenkorf department stores in The Netherlands during the “3 Dwaze Dagen”. Some products of the collection will be 3D printed live on the spot during these 3 crazy Bijenkorf annual sales days.
http://fabbaloo.com/ The folks at the University of Exeter who were experimenting with 3D printed chocolate that actually tastes good have spun off the technology into a commercial venture, Choc Edge. Their first product, the Choc Creator V1, is now available for pre-order. What is it? It's a true 3D printer that is specifically designed to print chocolate. The device uses cartridges containing malleable chocolate that are squished through a syringe.

Bathsheba Sculpture

http://www.bathsheba.com/ Whether you're here to shop, learn about how it's done , or just see some art , I hope you enjoy these designs. This is my full-time job, and I'm glad I can bring my work directly to you on this site. Prices are as low as I can make them and keep doing it: $30-80 for art and math minis , $200-500 for larger sculpture and math models , and laser glass runs $20 to 105, from keychains to Mega DNA .
