Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 3d printer video

That is very very impressive. I have a couple of question if you dont mind.

- How do you actually controll the printer cartridge? do you just dismantle
the printer and move it on top of powder container, or are you controlling
it yourself.
- After having "printed" out this plaster item, how can it be converted into
a usable object in another material? Is ist possible to make molds of it or
what would the obvious way be to use the printed items. - Im looking for an
argument for trying this out. I would like to be able to make items in
plastic or if possible cast alu/iron.
- How does the printer cartridge handle using water, do they corrode at some
point.
