The 3D printing event will be held on Tuesday 25 october 2011, during the dutch design week at the High Tech Campus[updated:] Seats2Meet, Strijp S in Eindhoven.[/updated] at Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
The Conference (part of the event) will tackle social, technical, cultural and design challenges, discuss innovative solutions, show new business opportunities and will give an outlook into the future of 3D home printer industry.
Ultimaker will be present at the event to organize the largest wall of 3D printers. We’d like to ask all Ultimaker operators who want to participate to show their machines and prints during the event. Print materials will be provided at the event, so essentially you’ll be printing for free. A possibility of printing your 3D scan will be provided. Click here to enlist and show off your machine!
Follow them on Twitter too!
How sweet! Chocolate is very similar to wax in the sense that you can do “lost chocolate” casting in metal! In fact, if you cast iron, you could melt some chocolate and burn off the remaining, which could result in a carbon-rich outer layer (which is then harder and wear-resistant).
Ik zou graag de 3d-printing event meemaken. Is het op Tuesday 25? Of Thursday 27?
Succes
Tuesday the 25th, it seems, looking at the schedule here: http://3dprintingevent.com/seminar/
hi
love your work, and the webshop is really shaping up – but watch out for misspellings
“The machine is very light-weight and robust, you can take it on a trip, without fear of it breaking. We use only square nuts for T-slots and offer a very high quality barch wood.”
barch in particular – possibly birch?
All the best in your endeavors and I hope you sell millions!
Can you print Arducopter propellers with the Ultimaker? How light and durable would the props be?
If it can be printed, I’m sure you can also do it with an Ultimaker. The great part about it is that it would be possible with fewer parts than with most 3D printers. Because the build volume is bigger you don’t need to split the model as much. With PLA the props might be a bit brittle. I think ABS with a good support structure would be flexible and still strong. This would be a challenging print, but definitely possible.
