I know we discussed these a little some time back, but here's a very

That's the same Dimension 3D printer that I was telling ya'll about some
5 or 8 years ago -

http://www.dimensionprinting.com/

I got a personal professional demo of this printer (ine of our shops was
considering buying some of them) and a giveaway copy of a 3D software
that you can use to make models to print on it - TC Solidworks. But it
will basically print any .3ds format file from about any CAD or 3D
program that can output one.

The tabletop scanner is new, though...and a real nice looking one at that -

The printer starts at around $19K, the scanner is about $3K, so for
about the price of a Mini Cooper you could have a complete setup...which
ain't a bad deal really - far less that a comparable machine
shop...hmmmnnnn...

The thing that blows me away is that it can copy a mechanism with moving
parts
and the plastic version's parts move as well..."printed" in place. WOW!

Yeah - they demo-d that with the adjustable wrench when I went to the
sales pitch...printed one during the presentation. If you can put it
together in the computer, the printer can print it out fully assembled
and operating.

What I would like to do with one is prototype resin figures - anything I
can put together in Poser, Vue, Bryce, AutoCad, TC SolidWorks, etc. and
put out as a .3ds file I can print to plastic on this machine...then
handwork and use as a master for my resin casting.

The tabletop scanner in the vid is far more precise than the one I saw
years ago at the demo...and there's more of that type of stuff out there
too. Wanna milling machine, or engraver that'll cut from 3D?

...and if you wanna cut your own canopy or other flat masks, buy a
scanner and a Roland Stika vinyl cutter:

http://www.rolanddga.com/asd/products/cutters/stika/

Just scan your canopy, noodle the 3D model into flat patterns, and let
the cutter cut your masks...note the Stika isn't priced much more than a
high-end laser printer...it's all do-able. The Roland scanners are
pretty expensive (and hopefully even more precise), but I like the open
tabletop one just fine - it'd do the job.
