Next big thing or expensive way to produce lots of ‘small, useless, plastic things’?Donald Clarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00796341486328270474noreply@blogger.comBlogger4125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-3567418702530612592021-01-14T11:55:47.122+00:002021-01-14T11:55:47.122+00:00plastic is the most basic material that a 3d print...plastic is the most basic material that a 3d printer can work with. There are many <a href="https://3dprinterspoint.com/best-3d-printer-for-miniatures/" rel="nofollow">3d printers</a>, and each of them can print with certain materials.<br />It can also be printed on wax, resin, wood conglomerates, nylon, rubber band, composite, etc.<br />Build your own horde of forty custom orcs, each one different from the other if you want. Thanks to multilateral printing systems , you can ask to have miniatures of 3 to 5 cm manufactured with exceptional quality of detail, without the need to remove supports or excess, in resistant and durable plastics on which you can paint.<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027596054393094348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-19094998802235905432013-01-12T07:16:00.860+00:002013-01-12T07:16:00.860+00:00I just came across your website and would like to ...I just came across your website and would like to tell you that I have certainly appreciated reading your posts.plastic cards printinghttp://www.plasticcardmonster.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-22526360511113900532012-10-26T11:50:10.211+00:002012-10-26T11:50:10.211+00:00They have got to be classed as a game changer.

I will admit at the moment they produce items to the quality of cheap party crackers but with time I believe things will change. <br /><br />Look at the print industry. If years printers have been around. Starting out with the dot matrix back in the 80's. <br /><br />They were never going to replace the commercial printers of today.<br /><br />Three decades on and the print industry isn't the cash cow it used to be.<br /><br />I think the biggest impact will hit the toy industry. Companies like games workshop and airfix will not be manufacturers any more. They will just sell miniatures. You will also find that the barriers to entry will make it easy for new players to come to the market. <br /><br />It will mean getting these items in a matter of minutes compared to days.<br /><br />I'm not entirely sure where the technology is heading but I do see a change coming in the future. <br /><br />I think its very exciting.<br /><br /> Mariahttp://www.focus-on-training.co.uk/itil-training/courses/skillarea/11/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077063.post-67774128797183961722012-10-26T10:34:27.950+00:002012-10-26T10:34:27.950+00:00Nice summary, Donald.

I think this technology has real potential in bridging the gap between learning in abstract and learning through practice by making things tangible. Not just highly practical skills,but also more conceptual knowledge which benefits from 3D representation and manipulation. But I think this really comes into its own in a performance support mode of use, rapidly reducing the time taken from encountering a problem, devising a solution and implementing the solution, then evaluating the outcome.Lars Hylandhttp://larsislearning.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
