Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 3D Printing





I helped some scouts (Boy) earn drafting badges recently, and to do so I had
to spool up on some CADD. Luckily, a couple college kids came in and gave me
a crash course on Solidworks. One of things I noticed is that Solidworks
apparently will send a part directly to a 3D printer.

Our little science club has a CNC minimill, and we make parts on it, but I
also want to do CNC plasma, CNC router, CNC laser, Tshirt printer and now 3D
printing. Too many projects (too little $$).

OK -- finally to the point. If we create a few parts in Solidworks is there
anyone on this list that would print them with for us?

And a stupid question...is there any point in putting together a CNC printer
using a hot glue gun? Or should I just blunder along looking for an extruder
I can buy/build/beg.

thanks, Chuck
