I will provide more updates about the project + FAQ by the end of this week. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy some new pictures from jewelry. Regards, Sculpture - Downloads. 3D printing definition of 3D printing in the Free Online Encyclopedia. 3D printing The making of parts and products using a computer-driven, additive process, one layer at a time. 3D printing builds plastic and metal parts directly from CAD drawings that have been cross sectioned into thousands of layers.
It provides a faster and less costly alternative to machining (cutting, turning, grinding and drilling solid materials). Used for making both prototypes as well as final products, 3D printing evolved from the "rapid prototyping" industry, pioneered by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems in the mid-1980s. Concept, Prototype and Final Product Capable of making a part from scratch in just hours, 3D printing is used to create models to determine if a design meets the customer's concept and expectations. It is also used to create prototypes of parts to test their form, fit and function with other parts in an assembly. 3D printing is also used to make tooling, such as molds and dies, as well as patterns for castings.
DIY CO2 Laser Cutter For Sheet Metal. Would you like to build a CO2 laser cutter similar to this?
That can cut things like this: Instructables has an exceptional step-by-step guide as to how to go about it. As the introduction states: The general idea of this CO2 laser system is that a beam is directed down to a part for cutting. The part sits on a computer controlled platform which moves the piece around the stationary laser beam. Programming the laser cutter. Homemade 3D Printer. Print To 3D Home. 3D Printing.

Boy have we got a project for you. Besides the projects that we post here each week, we’ve been working on some larger scale projects in the past year. One of these is almost done, and we’re ready to give you a sneak preview: It’s a home-built, DIY, CNC, 3D printer, that uses granulated sugar as the printing medium. This is still a work in progress, but we’re making rapid progress and we hope to show off the completed printer at the Bay Area Maker Faire in May. (Update added 5/9/2007: we’ve got it working now.) The printable volume is 24 x 13.5 x 9 inches, with programmed resolution of 1000 steps per axis.
The Revolution will be Caramelized - The CandyFab Project. Lego 3D printer itching to make Lego robots. We've seen Lego robots that do Sudoku puzzles , solve Rubik's Cube , and mimic the human hand .
Well, this Lego robot builds Lego models--so far. How long until it starts building other robots out of Lego? The horror! Hobbyist Will Gorman built his Lego Mindstorms NXT MakerLegoBot for the ongoing Lego World 2010 expo in Zwolle, the Netherlands. Inspired by the open-source 3D printer MakerBot, the machine is made of more than 2,400 bricks and runs on three NXT Intelligent Bricks and nine NXT motors.
A PC running the MLCad Lego design system sends instructions to the printer via USB, and it then starts selecting bricks from its large-capacity feeder system. The models are made on a base that rotates to handle nonsquare bricks. So far, the MakerLegoBot has made quaint objects like little houses. My 3D printer arrived. What should I make? Modding Project: Prometheus (DIY 3D Printer)-September 20, 2010. Quote: It would not be that hard to do, in fact there are quite a few people who have done so.
When someone fits a print head to an existing setup it is usually referred to as a RepStrap by the RepRap community (in case you want to look it up). Anyways, it is time for a bit of an update: July 30, 2010 I am still in the process of printing out parts for my printer, but I can now say that I am about 50% complete with the printing and hope to have them all done by Sunday or Monday. The system is built with 3 axes of movement: X, Y, and Z. 1. DIY Makerbot-Style 3D Printer for $250. DIY 3D Printing With A DLP Projector « IDSA Materials and Processes Section. DIY 3D Printing With A DLP Projector So Junior Veloso just decides he wants to build his own 3D printer using visible light.
His solution is to use a DLP projector to cure visible light-sensitive resin. Just like stereolithography, the rig builds the part on a platten coated with a thin (.01mm) layer of light-curable resin where the projector projects the shape to be built. I would think that if you had a projector with a high enough resolution (right now he’s using a 1024×768 projector), this might be faster than the mirror-aimed laser used for SLAs since the entire layer would be cured simultaneously. So far, his early samples are pretty nice. DIY iPad Car Mount by 3D Printer. Tech Know: Life hacking with 3D printing and DIY DNA kits. LJ Rich meets the people who use a 3D printing machine to build ornaments and jewellery at Newcastle's Maker Faire.
Hacking and making is no longer just about hardware and software, increasingly it is about wetware - that's biology to the uninitiated. Those starting to hack biology want to do for it what the web and easy to use tools such as the Arduino programmable controller have done for hardware hacking. That is make it easy to understand and fun to play around with. Lego 3D Printer - Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog. This Lego 3D Printer is full of LEGO processing power and emulates some of the fun MakerBot type devices that we have seen before.
Thanks for the tip Will. “The printer uses 3 Lego Mindstorms NXT Bricks, along with 9 NXT motors, and is inspired by the great work done by the MakerBot and RepRap teams.” Drill and reem the bore hole for the worm screw.

I'm working on a comparison chart of RepRap, MakerBot, & Fab@Home printers for a post over at the Ponoko blog. I'm gathering info through various wikis and sites, but thought it might be more efficient to ask here. Below are the categories I'm filling in for each of the printers. Info you have on any of them would be *very* much appreciated. Also, if you think I am missing a key piece of comparative info, please let me know. The models I am specifically concerned with are those available at Ponoko. • Acrylic RepRap [ponoko.com] • MakerBot Cupcake CNC [ponoko.com] • Fab@Home Model 2.0 [ponoko.com] • estimated total cost of machine • machine dimensions • hours it takes to assemble • type of extruder • type of plastic extruded • available build space • resolution • feedrate • availability of electronics, motors, other equipment • licensing I'll also be including availability of assembly instructions and highlights of the support community.
