New 3D printer
|
Garth Groff <sarahsan@...>
Friends,
Today the BBC has a feature on a new printer that uses layered paper to make 3D models. At around $6,000 this is a bit steep, but the price is bound to drop if the technology catches on. This might have great possibilities for model railroads, especially buildings, as the photo examples show. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35247318 Yours Aye, Garth Groff

With low cost laser cutters around the $500 level and at $100 for some models, someone can take the same idea and make a blade-less version of this 3d printer that should much cost less than the $6,000 of this more mechanical cutting 3d paper printer.

There are a number of nice compact models at under $350 today.
