We are already seeing 3D printed metal parts made out of Titanium and will be doing these turbines as soon as they hit the dock.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827737455192107295.post-36088491972514534072016-08-03T06:58:08.305-05:002016-08-03T06:58:08.305-05:00True, thought some impressive things can be done w...True, thought some impressive things can be done with DD objects like transmission gears.

Smith wrote a series of stories about a communications station called Venus Equilateral. <br />Among the technology he invented is the matter duplicator. As long as you kept the hopper loaded, the machine would print anything. <br /><br />And lest we get too serious, we could think about using the 3D printer to make large DD objects. <br />Technically, you could say that DD objects are 2D, but as you have shown in a great number of postings, sometimes 2D (DD) objects are anything but flat.<br />John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.com
