The 3D printer at home!
The three-dimensional printer, it is more fiction! RepRap offers users to print their own object. The machine functions as an inkjet printer with the difference that the material deposited is a layer of plastic.
It's at the University of Bath that the project was developed in open source and named RepRap . The novelty of the prototype is that it is the first printer to copy the majority of the component elements, but not totally, you understand why ... Look rather the realization of a piece in this video, it's just Impressive!
"Today, consumers can have their own printer at home, their photo lab, their CD burners ... So why could they not play with them their own hardware, rather than buying it in stores? "Adrian Bowyer, project director.
The owner of the machine can model and create their own objects in plastic as it sees fit.
Note: RepRap will be presented at the Cheltenham Science Festival, from June 4 to 8 The prototype will be available from £ 300 (roughly 400 euros). Amount that includes the components not needed for reproducible preparation of a copy machine. In the meantime, visit the website of RepRap for more information on this machine.
