Re: 3-D Printing of Small Parts
We do 3-D printing at my work, unfortunately it is wax printing that gets material poured into into the wax mold, with a good urethane plastic, the part should be pretty damn strong. Alot of the plastic parts ive seen printed are ABS plastic. While this stuff is cheap and semi sturdy, ABS is not repairable with glue or any plastic weld. We use a company called QUICK PARTS, they can print in several different density plastics. Ive had my engineers draw up a few cad models for me and had a friend who owns a 5-axis make parts for me out of aluminum. 3-D printing is pretty damn awesome!
