3D printing is a production technology, where a three dimensional object is created by using special printers or chasing a material in layers, or stereopoioyn a special powder in the form of the object. 3D printers give manufacturers the ability to create useful accessories, moulds and prototypes.

   Congratulations, you have just a ZCorp 510, Unfortunately the company was absorbed by 3dsystems…

   Did we 'print' a carbonart as it broke me…..
   Nevertheless it is a very advanced technique. I know that such techniques are used for moulds, In metalloconia etc but in such Everyday use application is excellent ... Finally there are brilliant minds ...

   If the key does not exist anymore as a technical drawing is then or unique reproduction method (reverse engineering). Mostly, however, cloning is used for prototypes to test ergonomics, touch, etc. Archeology is also a good example of application ...

   Very good idea, But whether it will have practical utility depends mainly on the cost of reproduction as well as the ability to 'simulate' various materials. What do the cloned key from powder, If 10plasia costs from a common metal key;

   Hi joy,

   And yet it is done with a scan and a print ... you need the right scanner, intelligent software to easily recognize the independent members of an object such as switches, etc. (best-fit-reverse-engineering) and a good-3d printer with a resolution of 0,01mm. I do not think the ZCorp in video has good resolution, but has the only pleonlektima it prints colors with the Hewlett Packard cartridges. On the occasion in the video we saw the Creaform scanner which is very expensive…

   As reported on behalf of ZCorp printing is only for prototypes (function models, also known as rapid prototyping method).

   The most robust model made with more expensive machines of 3dsystems or EOS. Talk to tool-less manufacturing or direct digital manufacturing and machinery using the method of selective laser sintering or multi jet modelling (100-250.000€). We are not talking now about 3D-printers, but for sintering machines.

   The exception is the Stratasys machines (20.000€) with the fused deposition modelling method which chiteysi ABS plastic exomoioyn through fiber and application of heating. But the analysis is not enough for beautiful models of small sized…

   For any questions happy to help, John

   PS not removed the engineers, the printers are just additional tools prwtotypismoy :-)

    Certainly there are 3d printers for many years, the ftiaznei object to moving parts with a scan and a print that is not, then what they want engineers, will all the scanning and will operate directly just as we imagined.

    Dose of truth there but is fake that came out functional tool and whoever has arguments to the contrary please diafwtisei us.

    The method there is definitely two decades. I don't know about the above.
    However then there was great resistance. It was only for molds.
    Major strengths are latest discoveries.

      Dude you could search a little before write comment. This method is real and existed for years. You can see details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_printing and here http://www.zcorp.com/en/home.aspx. There are many companies besides this that manufacture 3D printers.
