It seems that the 3D printing bug may be spreading to Engineer LLC. There is a growing wave of enthusiasm for low cost (relatively) 3D printers, particularly in the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) category. FDM is a process that uses a plastic Filament fed through a heated extruder head to print a model from a 3D CAD rendering. It’s really amazing how the capability of these printers has improved while the cost of entry has also come way down. The new developments have been spurred in large part by the open source project “reprap”. Learn more about how it got started here.
