Pretty awesome stuff. In the next few decades I think the military will use this technology to produce tanks and other kinds of military equipment.
They plan on using it to make bones, moving parts of the knee and other body parts.

America, fuck yeah!!!!
:o :o

weird. how does the computer know if a part is a loose moving part or if it's solid to the other part? i mean the light cant bend in such small spaces to see that.

America, fuck yeah!!!!
:o :o
I hope they don't start buidling T1000s

That's incredible...Think of the possibilities!

They must of made some modifications that we didn't see.

exactly.
I think they skipped that part in the process which they had to do manually.
anyways 3d printers has been around for a long ass time. I remember we got one for the school i went to in like 2002 or 2003..

The guy that designed that must be an absolute genius.

the military are light years ahead of whatever we get to see

been around forever, these are use for a process called rapid prototyping, say you have an idea or design you need to send away for mass production or whatever this is a quick way to get to hold feel it etc
this is a good deal, usually goes for almost 40k!

x2. This isn't exactly new technology. We have had 3d printers in the labs at work for years.

They really started getting leaps and bounds ahead on this in the mid 90's, we had some hands on time (a lot of coding and programming) with one of the first ones that came out in a mechanical engineering class I was taking
back then they couldn't use moving parts yet but it was still pretty cool to instantly fabricate something you were working on in AutoCad :)
The software for stuff like this is insanely expensive..
Solidworks www.solidworks.com (http://www.solidworks.com) $10-20,000
AutoCAD www.autocad.com (http://www.autocad.com) $10,000
Renderworks SDK http://www.nemetschek.net/CINEMA/index.php (http://www.nemetschek.net/CINEMA/index.php) $200,000
VxWorks http://www.windriver.com/products/vxworks/ (http://www.windriver.com/products/vxworks/) $200,000

Can it print a "Matt C" yet?

They have this same machine at Walmart only it makes Dog Tags for your pet. I am not impressed.

3D printers can make tools, toys, action figures, sculptures, car parts, etc..................... ........................ ........................ .

in the future a 3d printer will he a household iteam. And when you order a certian tool for example online. The 3d printer will print it out for you
-
The wrench they printed wasn't even the same...and the guy is so proud to say '' Oh the accuracy is 40 microns, less than a human hair ''
Just look at the extremity of the tool, the original have a hole, the printed one have ring, like the cheap wrench at the store. Bullshit.
-
i would print out my own designed dildos all day
-
Lots of tools here on GB are made with this amazing machine

Well, if they would print copy of original, patented etc. tool, there would be law suit waiting for them even before the end of the video. That's why they used 3D model which they made by themselves. Anyhow, the technique is cool and usefull in many ways. They can print even with metal in these days, so you get stainles steel objects by printing, and that is really amazing.
