Got to Use the 3d Printer at Work
Well, I got to use the 3d printer for the first time at work.
Nothing major, just some wells for some tubes to sit in to see if we can adapt a device to a different configuration.
It's king of neat. The machine puts out 2 resins, one is water soluble, and is used to create the initial base on the plate where the other permanent resin, PE I believe, is extruded from the print head in very fine lines.
I'm making something about the size of about a sandwich, and it takes 13 hours to make it.
Unfortunately, the capabilities of a cell phone camera and camcorder do not really capture enough detail to show this as it appears in person.
It's wicked cool to watch.
