LifeSunDeath posted:pretty awesome, but i doubt deposited steel is nearly as strong as cast or forged. 3d printing is great for prototyping though. They are actually finding that, with the proper toolpaths and deposition settings, you can get parts that are sometimes stronger in the axis that matter during part use versus machining from a cast or forged piece. I guess it's all about grain structure and pre-tensioned axis due to uneven cooling? As it is, a lot of jet engine blades are grown from a single crystal of metal for strength, but last year Siemens won an award from the ASME for using additive manufacturing (3D printing) to make turbine blades that were stronger in some aspects and cheaper to manufacture in others. It's a crazy world.

Ok that is rad as heck. Reminds me of the scifi series, Revelation Space, where nanobots coat starships and are constantly repairing stuff microscopically and can make complex crystal structures.

If I had a 3D printer and I could make custom clothes that fit me perfectly for less than a dollar per article from whatever fabric I got my hands on, I don't think I'd wear anything else. Imagine what historical reenactors could do, too!

With meme shirts in particular it feels like the turnaround is quick enough already that rapid prototyping isn't going to be the thing that finally pushes it into the area of insufferability.

Why/how would a 3D printer be able to produce perfectly fitting clothes anyway? Are you printing them on yourself?

Jerry Cotton posted:Why/how would a 3D printer be able to produce perfectly fitting clothes anyway? Are you printing them on yourself? No; you'd measure yourself then give those measurements to the printer. An alternative would be standing in a scanner that could get precise measurements then that would print clothes based on them.

I already have a machine to make clothes out of fabric, it's called my mom. (Seriously though it *is* pretty cool being able to just find a fabric you like and not have to worry about finding the right fit and everything because that can be made.)

A full-body scanner setup probably isn't something every home will need, so hey, maybe that's a service that can set up shop at the dying mini-malls in your town. Go to the new Skans-A-Lot where the Blockbuster used to be, then get naked and do the standard poses in their bigass 3D scanner. They email you the data file, and you can now print perfectly-fitted custom clothes. Come back and get re-scanned after you gain a few pounds. (And of course Skans-A-Lot will be completely trustworthy with your millimeter-scale 3D nudes. Completely trustworthy.)

They could use t-wave instead of forcing you to strip. Of course the equipment for that is expensive.
