Low cost economy rapid prototyping

Magicmodel has just completed its first job for rapid prototyping models in ABS for www.kristoffair.co.uk

A hobby business that offers custom designed model glider launch systems.

More to come.......

Affordable rapid prototyping at last.

3DPrint Job

I Just started a 3DPrint job this morning that is going to take 56,623 hrs on the machine !!!!!
Might have to abort that one.

Calling all product designers

Magicmodel can help new product designers using google sketchup.

Gopro webcam brackets custom made can be 3DPrinted to a good accuracy for a reasonable price.

What makes these custom designed products even better is that they are 3D Printed using the actual strong industrial plastic that commercial products are injection moulded from.

Classic renaissance sculpture

A 3D Artist from California named David Foster is helping to reduce the cost of 3DPrinting. Magicmodel successfully managed to achieve a new layer resolution of 0.1mm with the new silver material.

I'm sure you will agree that the results were quite impressive, but most of that is due to the wonderfully proportioned sculpt of the classic female nude. Check out the pictures below.

The model stands at 8 inches tall from the base and is the tallest build achieved on the Orca with a hexagonal internal structure to make the part really strong.

I just wish I could get down to the 3DPrintshow2012 this weekend but I'm working....doh!

Todays 3dprint

Seen as I just got a load of new flowers come up in my garden I thought I'd make this vase.

Cutting the cost of rapid prototyping.

3dprintshow2012

Really looking forward to seeing all the amazing objects at the 3DPrint Show this year. As far as I can make out this is the first year for this event and it promises to be a popular even.

Driving down the cost of rapid prototyping

Until recently rapid prototyping machines were reserved (some still are) solely for the high end engineering business. Gradually the term of rapid protptying is now becoming more familiar as 3DPrinting.

Magicmodel aims to help reduce the cost of 3DPrinting in order to give more people the chance to make their virtual design become a reality.

With the help of the first Orca 0.42 in Scotland Magicmodel can now offer a 3DPrinting service with real engineering experience at a reasonable cost.

3D Print of Simon V7 Fighting

This is one of my first test prints from my very own marvelous magicmodel machine. Its a digital model of Simon from Poser7.........many more to come.

At the moment the resolution is not as sharp as industrial (expensive) 3dprinters but it's getting better all the time. Figure is 72mm tall. The beauty is any character is 100% pose-able.

3D Printing poser files from smith micro

Attached is a photo of one of the first test builds in Polylactic acid. It is a model which was intended to cater for the needs of architects and modelmakers of dioramas. Lots more poses and sizes available.

Please be aware that most of the images on this blog were taken with the iphone 3G, so quality is not the best!

Orca 0.42 mendel now in operation

Let the 3d printing begin. Abs and pla materials available. High resolution and low resolution.

3D Printing Scotland

Scotland is proud to present the first ever Orca 0.42 reprap 3d printer from Mendelparts.
We have yet to find out if it was well worth the wait as the ordering time was delayed greatly because of a backlog, and one can only guess it is because there was so much demand for such a cool looking design (with some very impressive demo prints)

More to come.........

Porridge
