![3D printing Index-10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f79/14/43/85/81/index-10.jpg)
Have you ever heard of fabrication?
3D printing is on that next level and is the future in how a lot of things will be made. (but will it be the next industrial revolution?)
So the old school way of fabricating was taking a piece of wood and chiseling away until you made what you wanted, then later on we got to making molds and casts, after we got to the point where we could shape any material to what ever we needed using machines to remove the unwanted parts...
Now, 3D printing uses steel dust with hardener and powder coat for coloring to make

or powdered plastic to make every piece for
![3D printing Images11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f79/14/43/85/81/images11.jpg)
make shapes starting from nothing but the programmed design.
![3D printing 3d-pri10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f79/14/43/85/81/3d-pri10.jpg)
With laser scanners that can scan and save .CAD files which then can be used with the 3D printer...
you are only limited by your imagination (and cost of machinery and it's consumables)

So if you had a 3D printer, what would you make?
clothes?

sim-cities?

phone cases?
![3D printing 3d-pri11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f79/14/43/85/81/3d-pri11.jpg)
toys?

The starting price for 3D printers can range from $400-$1000 for the smaller units (not certain the cost of materials)
but like everything tech, things get faster and cheaper in time...
I'd give 3D printing a few more years until we see it in everyone's house.
Next thing you know it's as common to have as a microwave +

These machines always have had an interest of mine.

Just waiting on one of these because just like desktop/laptops they will surpass themselves year after year. This is the future tho!!!! Keep getting hounded into one, but what is the point in spending $1500 when next years model will print twice as fast and do some extra sweet crap. Just waiting on a 3d printing company to open up in the area so I can make some mulla.

Yea, set up around a town and offer a 3d print service.

a guy on the net, has .cad files you can download, that allow you to make individual parts for a high calibre gun!.. pretty nuts

Speaking of 3D printing, last time I check THE infamous site used for PIRAT[E]ing content while keeping the cops at BAY has a subsection dedicated to sharing .cab files for 3D printing.
I don't suggest or restrict anyone from possibly searching for these files if need be or not be.

3D printing will be one of the main FORUMS for the site's reboot
it's going to be a big part of what we will learn and do ^,^
I'm thinking about working on 3D print-outs for mini cabinets scaled for mobile phones, tablets, laptops, TV's... as well as for controllers, joysticks, etc...
also it just goes great with the theme here for some reason
