arithma I have this wonderful little incarnation in my head that I want to just print out to play with. I'll create a vortex in a 3D grid, take out the points where the velocity points are greater than a certain threshold, and just tell the printer to print it out. My brain is having braingasms over this, so I must have it out on my desk. Help.
samer Check out MakerBot, an open source 3D printer that can build almost anything up to 4"x4"x6". I read about it in an issue of Wired, it seems pretty nifty.
BashLogic maybe this is along your thoughts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQmlqYLkBs&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV8umUgohcg&feature=watch_response_rev
jsaade there is a mofeling (architecture maquets) company in jouniyeh and thry own a 3d printer. they did several 3d prints usually from 3dsmax with full materiald and textures. and there is another company who used to print out our 3d models at work. i will try to get both contacts for you by monday...
rolf Architects know about "3D printers" - they use it to build models. If you want I can ask for you. If you want something stronger and industrial, I can also ask for CNC :) Let me know.
J4D If you want a couple of months till i finish my CNC/3D printer, ill print it for you :P Here it is, in the making :
dmnabti Just following up on this ... leads on companies that have (or sell? rent?) CNC machines in Lebanon? ... specs, for mid-size / light materials (plywood boards, cardboard, etc), max 2m x 2m.
solo220 @dmnabti IMHO I advise you to buy directly from the manufacturer especially for the 2m X 2m size or else you will pay like the double of the price + shipping +.... I think your talking about 2.5D routers right ?? because CNC machines is a very large category . if you insist on buying from local dealers you can find a liable one here http://www.roland-lb.com/
Gamer Im interested, they are having Opening Party at theBAKERY, on March 21 from 3pm to 8 or 9pm, (website says 9pm but their Pdf says 8pm) http://www.facebook.com/events/346748192093530/ thanks guillaume
