3D printers
Ok I'm bemused, what is a 3d printer?
Just don't get the concept.. |
It's a device for creating solid objects by laying down successive thin layers of material, usually some form of thermosetting plastic, although powdered metals and ceramics can also be used. 3D printing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's even possible to create firearms in this way (except for the firing pin, apparently) - BBC News - Working gun made with 3D printer. SD |

Question is when are 3d printed parts going to be used in aviation. It will happen... Just a matter of when.

Been around for quite sometime, used a lot in rapid prototyping and blade casting (to provide a negative mould for instance).
If anyone has a 3D printer, I'd like a Weird Science era Kelly lebrock please. I believe that the Chinese have made a 3D printed Titanium wing spar. 3ders.org - 3-meter long titanium airplane part 3D printed in one piece | 3D Printer News & 3D Printing News |
already been done for UAVs and model aircraft
Research team at (I think) Southampton University around two years ago built the first printed UAV |
Right, that makes a LOT more sense than the answers I got elsewhere, :ok:
