3d Printing tools

3D printing overview

There are many kinds of “3d printing robots” I have had objects printed in metal, ceramic, rubber, and many different types of plastics. I have purchased 3 printers over the years that are classified as FDM printers. They feed different types of thermoplastics through a heated nozzle. Going layer by layer the robots build from the bottom up to turn a computer model, into a tangible object.  Virtually anything that can be designed in a computer model can be manufactured with one of these technologies.
