My interpretation of this is that the "space frame" NODES are 3D printed .. most of the rest of it seems to be conventional? I don't think the body panels are 3D printed on this prototype?

Think about the scope of what you can do! You can pretty much print (or not print) the water pipes, drains, insulation, fittings and fixtures like toilets, kitchen benches, TV units, tubes for electrical, door and window frames and skirting, columns - the works! Different colours are fed into the machine as required. All you need is a sound foundation and a track system that covers the footprint of the place. It will happen. ![]()

Oh ****!.. not yelling just not going to retype it I think there is a future for prined parts but im not sure this is reinventing the 'wheel' so to speak. the design is very 1950's space frame lotus 7 or similar just using more modern materials... sort of As for the bridge, that's beginning to show real adventure and innovation...bring it on JP |
