JMU has a 3D printing lab I think.

yes they do, in ISAT, we went there for a business class or two. Rapid prototyping machine, when I was still in there, only VT and us had one in the state.

^yup, it's pretty cool. I have a wrench that was made from there. pretty cool.

My dad's machine company has had those for quite a few years to do prototyping..I'm not sure it's *that* new of an idea?
Re: Check this out! 3D printing - JustinG - 07-18-2011
no its not "new", considering it was my junior year so, 06-07 that the university had one, and we had it for a year or so. It was just "up and coming" at the time based on the materials it could use. Supposedly going to have laser printer sized ones

It's that prices have come down enough for it to be accessible to the average person. Kind of like how computers have been around since the 50's, but they didn't become accessible to consumers until the 80's.
Now 3D printing is getting cheap enough that it's creating all kinds of opportunities for people who want to build stuff.

3D printing is pretty cool I heard about it a couple years ago at JMU from a business professor, some kids found a way to use it for profit a while back. It would be cool if we have some engineers in the club create some cool MM stuff on CAD with their freetime.
