3D Printers

View attachment 1715241547 My youngest son has one. He has made some cool things so far. We were talking today about getting a scanner to make it easier to reproduce parts. Luke has been modifying tool path to fit his needs and although he's self taught, he is getting close to measuring out a simple piece and creating a 3 dimensional instruction the printer to use. Most of the things would be obscure molding clips and the like. Like Ddaddy said, you have to have the software to tell the printer what to make.
Tool paths seem to be the choke of all of these computer controlled systems. Kudos to Luke.
