Douglas_H Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The manufacturing company I work for is heavily into 3D printing for prototyping and has been for a long time. I've seen the advances and plummeting prices for the printers and wondering of anyone here is doing their own, what printer they're using etc. Thanks much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Not yet Douglas... There's a great difference between the resources at the disposal of a Manufacturing Company, and that of the average Modeller. Anything around the price range that I would find reasonable for such a set-up, is still producing objects that require excessive clean-up. So not for me yet, I'm sorry.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted June 25, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2017 I always use Shapeways. Pretty happy with them in terms of speed, detail and price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas_H Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Jeroen, seeing people mention Shapeways is where I got the idea from. I imagined that they use industrial printers, i.e., accurate and very fast. Speed would be the main thing in making it profitable I would think. I'm just starting to investigate the current status of "affordable" 3D printers and trying to get a grip how good one has to be in order to create model quality pieces.
