To me water jet cutter would be far more interesting than any 3D printer. Real water jet cutters are expensive to buy and own. Cheaper alternative would be very nice. 3D printer I might get if there is one on that produces lost wax type patterns for investment casting. Total cost should be reasonably low. Pekka |

interesting. the waterjet at the works has a 10kW motor and a 3800bar pump it'll cut 4" steel but is not the quickest thing you'll ever see. I wonder just how useful this little thing really is???? |
