I can see a few, very few, people printing junk jewelry, mostly teenage girls. 3D printing actually is quite useful as part of a bespoke jewellery-making process. You design a 3D model using a CAD program such as Jewelsmith, print a positive, then use investment casting to produce a one-time mold, which is used to mold precious metal. I can't see anyone printing an electric, gas, or water company. Tools and gadgets are so vague they are meaningless. Tools? I just 3D-printed a fixture for stencil printing a PCB. It holds a small panel (snaps into the mounting holes) and has cutouts to allow the PCB to sit flat after parts have already been mounted on the other side. Crude but more than good enough. A machinist would have charged me perhaps $500 and taken days. And I would have gotten bogged down in toolpaths and cutter compensation and such like programming it myself in a CAM program. --sp -- Best regards, Spehro Pefhany |
