I think you are right ... they are way, way behind. To many, it seems that reinventing the wheel is how they learn but at the expense of making any meaningful progress.
--------------- Google this (no, not kidding about the name) lemon curry 3d printer The design uses a DLP projector with color and UV filters removed. 3D models are sliced into sections then those profiles are projected either onto the bottom of a clear tank or onto the top of the resin. A build plate either raises up out of the resin or lowers into it as the resin is cured one very thin layer at a time. Surface finish matches or beats commercial 3D printing machines with very high prices. Of course the print quality is influenced by how accurate and rigid the homebrew printer is built. There are a few companies doing small scale production of printers based on this method. What I'd like to see for this type of printer is a clear resin to see if can print refractive lenses, as is possible with the newer Objet printers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
