Re: 3D printing, powder spreading

Fernando,

Thank you for the translation. I'm interested in knowing what the
2nd man (in the white shirt) said about the part while it was still
emvbedded in the powder after the build--just before vacuuming it
clean. Did the "text" from 5:00 to 7:30 mins. say anything else
about the process itself?

Thank you in advance,

Ballendo
