20 | Hello Jean-Christophe |
21 | |
22 | Thanks for sharing your experiences. I read overviews of how |
23 | folks are (3D) printing with metals, but find few details. |
24 | |
25 | I have some ideas on larger things to build, but in a 50-100 |
26 | components sizes that fit together. |
27 | |
28 | I what to build a series of modules using a 3D printer that fit together |
29 | with the lamiated beams to realize the a pickup-camper shell. I found |
30 | super-strong, light weight composites that can be laminated for |
31 | the structural beams, in lieu of metal. I'll have to design |
32 | and model thing, but I have used Autocad and ProE so no worries |
33 | on using Blender for the modelling.... |
34 | |
35 | So my real need is to find some resources (folks) that know about |
36 | the myriad of different feedstock material you can use in a 3D printer |
37 | and the resulting strengths. Platics, Polymers and such are |
38 | are not my area of expertise, but I do have a petrochemical degree |
39 | and some chemical process (refinery) experience. |
40 | |
41 | How do you find out about which 3D printers handle which matierals? |
42 | Is it difficult to build a modified 3D printer to handle customized |
43 | feedstock materials? |
