Re: ZR-1 Parts availability SOLVED!
3d printing has come a long way. look for future products make from powdered carbon fiber, and powdered metal
boeing, lambo, and our callaway buddies have worked pretty extensively with carbon fiber powder
boeing is doing some pretty ambitious projects 3d printing aeroplane wings and parts
look for full car chassis and many parts to become more affordable as the technology matures. saw the robb report with pics of a 3d printed stratovarious violin that played pretty good
this technology has a very bright future and is very exciting, but you still have to do some serious work to digitize and program the part
with the scanning technology and "probing" a part, it's getting easier all the time
anyone know more about this stuff, it's gone beyond the plastics, that's for sure!
