TerryB Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) The 3D printers are certainly a new and effective tool for the auto business. My son is employed in the auto industry and it is quite common for them to make 3D printed parts as design verification proof.

Terry Bond Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Got to see some demonstrations on this at the AGN in Williamsport PA last year. Amazing stuff. There was also recently an article in the HCCA magazine about how a 3d printer was used to make a pattern for a rocker arm assembly that needed to be made for an early brass era car. The medical industry is using it extensively producing artificial limbs, etc. The future is now and this stuff is pretty exciting. I understand 4d is on the horizon.

Rusty_OToole Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) That is a great story, amazing what they can do these days. Jay Leno on his program has been talking about this for years. Recently they had a man on demonstrating the latest developments, direct metal laser printing, amazing. The top of the line equipment is out of reach for the average enthusiast but they offer their services. They can make practically any part.
