We should leave that to the modelmakers of this world. <br /><br />After working alongside with EOS Nylon printers I can tell you that nothing beats the quality, strength and detail of these printers. I would personally disagree with all reasons but number 4 and maybe number 6, as the plaster printers can be extremely forgiving to such details. But if the file is fixed to a higher standard this is generally not a problem.<br /><br />It would be great to see such a machine one day Paul, until then we'l just settle with copious amounts of super glue... <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947075769999919532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290761142522882775.post-39244946331189673662013-11-09T15:25:08.803+00:002013-11-09T15:25:08.803+00:00I'd like to believe that if the material scien...I'd like to believe that if the material science improves steadily enough, then one day architects & designers will be more confident in 3D printing final presentation models using plaster-based technology over that of laser sintering. <br /><br />Personally, I think the three consumables which exist in the ZPrinter (HP print head, plaster powder and binding solution) could all be refined to the point where post curing stages are not needed. Imagine a binding solution that's as tough as Araldite and fluid like water. Can Hewlett Packard print more stuff through even smaller holes? It feels to me like it could be a lot easier to develop this type of technology over that of lasers and melting points. Maybe I'm wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
