    A really amazing machine arrived today

    We've all heard about them and I was very skeptical. We got the 2 head unit so you can mold two different materials in the same part. For my kind of business this is going to be a very nice addition to our tooling department.

              I would imagine this is a high end industrial printer. Do you mind sharing the price tag, or the general price for a machine such as this? I've been reading reviews on printers for at home, and I'm still undecided. Do you have a personal recommendation that you could make for a home unit that's has some nice bells and whistles but doesn't have the price tag of an industrial version?

              Thank you!

                                That was one of the concerns when I decided to get one. THey made it sound like you had to go to MIT for a semester to learn to use it.

                                It arrived this morning with FEDEX at around 10am and we made our first part which was the canned software makerbot emblem right after lunch. The 2 white pieces are pieces we already make in production and those were off our own solidworks models.

                                It's honestly one of the easiest machines to use that I've seen in years.

                                    This is not a highend industrial machine It only acts like one!

                                    With shipping and a couple of coils of plastic it was $3120.00


                                    They make a single head for around $2. But having the ability to change durometers and colors in a part was well worth the extra. I did the research on these and the makerbot offered the largest size of part you can make, by a large margin.

                                        That's a nice price tag. I set aside 5k for an initial investment and have been reading reviews, forums, and articles every day looking for the perfect machine. I'm in no rush, and rushing at the same time. I know prices will come down in the future, but competition will rise. It's an interesting time for this industry.

                                          We've been using outside sources for SLA part for about ten years and honestly, I wouldn't want to be in that business. These new generation of 3-d printers are nearly as good as machines that cost $1/4m in the early part of the decade.

                                            Minte, does the sharpness/detail of the piece get better than what's shown ?

                                              I am sure it will. The type and diameter of material and the speed and resolution is part of that learning curve.

                                                How about a review? I've been thinking about investing in a 3d Printer.

                                                  I grew up doing machine work, step dad was a machinist. I'm thinking of getting this and making custom Harley parts. http://shopmasterusa.com/
                                                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                  think about that

                                                    I will in a week or two. We need to get some experience and really put it through the paces.

                                                      Makerbot is a consumer product. My Dad set his up the day he got it.

                                                          I think this is amazing and will change the world in our lifetime.

                                                          Eventually people will be making their own parts in their own houses. No need to run to Home Depot to replace a part for my crapper like I did this weekend...

                                                              Mostly the size of part you can make. Of the consumer based units, Makerbot has the largest parts envelope there is. Industrial SLA machines can do much larger prototypes.

                                                                      I saw a video a while back about a company that makes prosthetic for people who have lost limbs and how they are now making them using a 3D printer. He said the coolest part was that if someone has a part on their limb break they can just make a new one right then and have it that day instead of having to order it and wait for a few weeks or longer to come.

                                                                      I would love to play around with them, but would probably end up just using it to make a sex doll of Jessica Alba

If you can go from a 3d model and make hundreds or maybe even thousands of parts and not have to spend 5 figures and 90 day lead time on an injection mold it will be a major change in how things are produced.

                                                                                        They make a single head for around $2. But having the ability to change durometers and colors in a part was well worth the extra. I did the research on these and the makerbot offered the largest size of part you can make, by a large margin.

Maker bot debuted a new 3D scanner last year which is due out soon and the rumor is later this year they will debut a machine capable of recycling your printed items back into plastic to make a new item. The moment someone makes a unit for 2-3K than can scan 3D items and recycle items back into reusable plastic... the entire world will change.
