[news] 3D printed car

I wonder how long before you can walk into a dealers and have you car printed? Your 3D-printed car will be ready to drive in 44 hours | ExtremeTech

That's pretty cool. I'm really looking forward to seeing what 3D printing can do as it becomes more affordable and common!

I just want it to work. We had 2 of the smaller maker bots at the office the first one broke half way through its 6th print the replacement didn't even manage one print job just refused to do anything we do have a cool laser cutter/etcher though that has been used to etch any random piece of junk in the office with logos etc just to see what it can do (think someone even etched cardboard) and has been used to make models of furniture configurations to demo from acrylic

You get what you pay for. At my last school, we had an expensive 3D printer (binder type) and it gave no trouble, apart from the time it took for objects to print. The DT guys used to run it 24/7 to get though the work. I guess we all would like a photopolymerization printer; I know they have come down in price so maybe soon!
