[QUOTE="aushunter, post: 314620, member: 195"] Hello GaryO, You would need a decent size printer for that and also I don't think the plastic would hold up to the constant punishment delivered to it in everyday use. They are a great bit of kit and you can just about print anything you want, mainly use ABS but you can get other materials to print with. We have one at work for prototyping and so far for a small outlay we have made many hundreds of thousands of dollars by just showing customers how it all works then actually giving them the prototype. To get the best results a good cad program is a must, I use Solidworks and the results are pretty good. I worked at Bradken years ago and they had 2 3D printers that could do a cubic metre each. We did some full size GET (Ground Engaging Tools) for mining excavators and Face Shovels now that was impressive. At the moment the Boss wants a scaled down D11 Dozer for Display showing our Products in Place and so far I have made more than 150 parts for it.It looks pretty impressive to say the least. Cheers Brad..... [/QUOTE]
