hey, im in engineering at my college and my class is making things on a 3d printer (see pics below). It uses a plastic type of material and a supporting material that dissolves so it literally can make any shape and has VERY tight tolerences. Well anyway i want to make like a car or something cool maybe an engine block or something. I am very open to try anything at all doesnt have to be car related.

it does have to be able to fit in a 16" x 16" square, but i can scale it down if its bigger.

So if you have any 3d files you should post them up ! thanks a lot guys

(i really have no clue if anyone will respond to this, but hopefully!)

 

Rapid Prototyping!

Timeframe to get files to you?

Got a couple 3D drawings here, but its proprietary stuff, so I'd want/have to start from scratch.

 

ah, i wish i saw this sooner... i did a butt load of solidworks stuff on the comps at my old college... sorry dude, its fun though

 

same here... this could be fun but dont have any files that I can give you...allowed to give you

 

made this on Pro/E with intention of replication it. hasn't happened yet lol.

 

timeframe is a month.

now that we know how to use the rapid prototyper our teacher gave us the software and anywhere we have internet access we can send our .stl files to it and someone just has to hit accept at the machine and make sure there is enough material in there and it will make it!

amazing technology.

you can PM me if you want, or e-mail anything to

thanks a lot guys,

i was thinking about making something like this (not to steal your idea ha)

or maybe a center vent boost gauge adapter like this
