I know nothing about 3D printing mate. Well, never had the technology working successfully for me anyway. We have a Rolland here... literally used it twice and unlikely to use it ever again. Half day printing for a surface area of only 40 in². Go figure... been sitting in the storage room for the last 1.5 years in fact.
Unlikely I'll ever see 3D composite printing, quite sad in fact. We are already at additive & subtractive manufacturing here with now two machines on order. Similar to 3D printing but laying down/melting solid metal instead of plastic. Similar; boring and painful long process you have no idea.... parts are literally going to cost the end user roughly x8times higher (against a traditional high speed 5axis machining center). Again, I don't get it but there you go... that's what the investors wants/need, then they'll get it.
Was under the impression that 3D composite printing was much (much) more expansive than medieval casting methods. I guess I'm out of date already lolll
