Are parts for your home-made fusion reactor practical enough? :) http://prometheusfusionperfection.com/2012/05/21/electron-gun-armature/ If not, the company I work for uses 3D printing extensively for prototyping parts that may wind up eventually being milled, cast, or molded. The short turn-around cycle of 3D printing helps with development, and the ultimate quality and properties of the parts is far less important than quickly having something real and physical to hold instead of just a CAD drawing. ...especially when talking to the "look and feel" marketing folks instead of the engineers! :) - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/GbNoACgkQLywbqEHdNFyZkQCcD+BAvxX3hhlFKOdGH5nXH+9L M6QAoK7xT9wCRt6B8DFdFWfxahJ40bpM =K88T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
