You’ve heard about Makerbot which can print 3d parts in plastic filament, but how about PolyJet, which can print flexible rubber parts from nearly any 3d file? How about printing in steel, clear plastic, fully colored resin, and ceramic? In this talk I’m going to go over some of the developments that have been made in 3d printing and rapid prototyping over the past few years, how to design your projects to use them, and where to find the services to take your concepts and turn them into parts you can play with.
