From Concept to Prototype
3D printers and Blender. What more could a SAG major ask for?
I’ve been toying with the idea of modeling a quality… something, using Blender, with intent to go ahead and print it using the services presented by shapeways.com, where I have been a member for some time now. Maybe If I get the right spark of inspiration (and some cash) I’ll give it a shot!
Until then, check out this 3D printer. We are well on our way to some interesting changes concerning just how much physical effort is involved in the prototyping process. If we can get the quality of prototypes printed by 3D printers up to that of standard injection molding, the production world is going to be flipped upside down.
