Re: 3D Systems 3DTouch Vs MakerBot Replicator

The 3D Touch cost almost twice as much as the replicator. Not to mention the over priced cost of materials. :(

I spent my childhood sticking model kitsets together. Planes, cars, ships, what have you. I was limited by the kits I could afford to buy, and they don't make kitsets of everything that everyone wants kitsets of. In addition to that, kitset builders tend to build in scales, and there are a range of conventional scales. The reprap (open source 3D printer crew) community also looks at ways of recycling, and turning the blocks of packing foam that are being blown around the street outside my home, or discarded bottles, into the model kits that I used to love, or even plain old Lego blocks, isn't that far away. And although CAD only entered the retail price ranges maybe fifteen or so years ago, nowadays there are lots of low-cost and no-cost applications that run on mundane hardware. Kids are playing with Sketchup in schools right now, and they'll run rings around us eventually.

I worked with Solid Edge,Solid Works,Catia and Auto Cad but compare to all this Solid works and catia are allways good most of companies wont use Solid Edge because its very slow working and they have introduced ST4 technology now which is in solid works in last two years SE is boring to use.

Just because we have been using 3D printing for prototyping, it doesn't mean that is the only thing it is could and should be used for.

And speaking of 3d printed chairs, I'm assuming you haven't seen this: http://www.freedomofcreation.c...

It's not just a matter of "want to go fishing". What are you going to do with your 3D printed stuff? You don't want a 3D printed chair, too fragile and too ugly. A desk? Sure, but that's massive amounts of plastic, and wood looks nicer. A pen? Sorry, you can't just "print" an ink pen.

What on earth is the average person going to use a 3D printer for? I use our Dimension machine at work all the time, to make mock-up prototypes. I'm not sure what I would "prototype" at home. Sure, there's the novelty part. But once that wears off, then what?

No, I get it - full control over the users, pay for everything, fight piracy, maximize the profit! I guess will see only virtual money - nothing to hold in our pockets!

Like mechanical engineer, for now I agree, I am not interesting in 3D printing technology (mainly reading about it). I am lucky when I see any blog post without "3D printing" header:)

To build a house and start living in it one year from now, you need to lay to foundation today. Nobody is saying that 3D printers will pop up in everyone's home today. I'm simply saying that when they do they won't look and work like these hobbyist printers. That quite simply will not happen.

Deelip Menezes — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:33:54 -0000

Not to worry. I ain't leaving the CAD world. Trust me, 3D printing and CAD are woven together in ways you can't imagine. ;-)

I hope you can write in the future more things about CAD, like comparison or tests. I knwo you are now close to 3D-Systems, but the printer market is for an R&D Engineer not really interesitng the most of us has good suppliere for fast proto parts.

And to be honest, the 3D printer (initial costs, maintenance) and specially the material is so expensiv you will never get a ROI.

I can see your point
but I can reverse it either.
Who is the actual tarjet for a 3D printer. I´m not talking two years on, Im talking NOW
3D printers has two main markets
1-Professional user, for rapid prototiping and so
2-Hobbyist, makers, educative porpose

For the first group a well finished product, good printing "out of the box" support and 3D printing quality its mandatory, and this kind of printers dont have anything to do VS real proffesional printers and their, for example, laser sintering.

For the second group a good support comunitiy, possibility of learning, self serviciability,and possible upgrades are the real facts people are searching (and price, very important fact obviated in the post). In those points, makerbot or any other similar product wins "hands down"

I can bet for each of those printer selled, it would be at least two makerbot out (and many more if you cont replicatorbot or repraps...)

Re: 3D Printing At Discovery Charter School – Part 16

Rileys_Dad — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:09:25 -0000

Izzy,

SolidWorks allows you to specify different fill rates from 0-100% depending on how thick solid you want a specific item to be. It also allows you to specify different fill "patterns" for large areas.

When we were having trouble with the warping, we moved from a straight line fill that pulls directly back in line with the extrision, to a polygon fill that looks like a beehive. These "cells" seem to have more stretch and are willing to stay down.

Does this help?

Re: Solid Edge ST4 For Free

Gerard Milton — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:56:21 -0000

Hi, this is kinda related but not directly. I am looking to learn SE but I am having some difficulty. I can apply for courses in SW but SE not available were I am (Ireland) The company I work for has ST2 (2 copies) but nobody to use them and I was hoping to get some experience using it and maybe gain an extra step on the ladder, so to speak. At the moment the company cannot afford to renew the licences for the tech support etc but the franchise looking after it wont do any training until they are renewed. So I have hit a bit of a stumbling block! My idea was to train myself and with some experience show my employer that this software is under his nose and and could be used to help production etc. I could then convince him to upgrade/renew the licence and get me some proper training. Can you help or suggest a way for me to learn SE be it online or book/CD or any other way. Any help would be really appreciated.

I have used both the Asteroid and the SpaceExplorer. The Asteroid feels more like a toy as compared to the SpaceExplorer. The SpaceExplorer is a serious tool.
