3D printed N1 Fan Model
 
I've been searching for ages to no avail. I'm after a company who can make out of plastic (3D printed) a small scale, but accurate, N1 fan along with the fan disk. Not full size, but large enough to be seen by everyone in a large classroom.
Does anyone know of a company who can make this?

There are now heaps of companies offering stereolithography. Do you have the CAD drawings/files?

Thanks Le Pingouin, that's exactl what I was after. I have emailed the chap to see if he would make some for me. My computer skills don't go further than hand to hand combat with the office photocopier.

Looking at his profile on the maker site he's an engineer in the US so that might be a problem - he might be able to suggest someone to contact here I guess. I don't know much about 3D printing but this page has links to various enthusiast groups who might be able to help - Officeworks even offers a 3D printing service. Obviously you'd need to assemble the parts but that might make a good classroom project :E

I might be able to help you Ozg-3. I have printed out several fans
and turbines eic in recent years.
190mm OD is my max for one piece fan and 4-500mm for multi
part fan.
By the way, that model that Le Pingouin linked to is a great desk model
