3-D Printers

[fhunter]

Yo fhunter, asides from use of 3D printers in medical field, would you eat 3D printed burgers?

I question the integrity of the stem celled meat, so far as impurities during the manufacturing process and companies lying to a great extent to cover their asses.

I am not much into burgers. Golden Starches didn't eat my brain in childhood, they appeared here much later .

Would there be much difference between a 3d printed burger and what we have today?

"Fastfood, fastfood never changes..." (think fallout 2 intro voice).

On the other hand, 3d printed chocolates and cookies - that would be interesting .

One of the most interesting products to me is a tonearm made with a 3-D printer which is currently available. The shape of the arm and the internal walls can vary to reduce resonances. When you attach a cartridge to a tonearm you only want the cartridges stylus, cantilver and generator to vibrate for the generation of the signal. All other vibrations and resonances are bad.

Digging into the grooves with the world’s first 3D-printed tonearm for turntables

Well, one CE manufacturer isn’t waiting for the future. VPI Industries, best known for its record cleaning machines and award-winning turntables, decided last year to start development of its first direct drive turntable, due to debut at the New York Audio Show on April 12. VPI already manufactures its own aluminum tonearms for its tables, but for its new statement piece, VPI turned to a design firm in Pennsylvania to develop the world’s first synthetic 10-inch tonearm, created by a 3D printer.

The tonearm is a one-piece structure, from its head shell to its counterweight stub. It’s manufactured from an epoxy-plastic that is incredibly lightweight and rigid. VPI hopes to make the tonearm available in 9-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch lengths for its own tables and those of others.
