I've heard thres a company in czechoslovakia that does rapid prototyping at very low prices (compared to market standards) but high quality (good enough for optical prototyping)

How the hell can they call that a printer? It doesn't 'print' the models. Why can't manufacturers ever think up a new name for these things...Printer? It's no more a printer than I am an artist... :lol:

well, i think they're aiming for the generalist 3d artist consumer market, so..

Well that counts me out then I'm only a Sergeantist artist (recently promoted I might add)
Rayraz posted Sun, 26 October 2008 at 5:02 PM
whats wrong with calling it a printer? check the dictionary, the various descriptions are broad enough to encompass the technologies used in 3d prototyping. it's still making an impression in or on a surface.. either you buildup the material, or you imprint the shape into the material.

Probably a 3D object layering machine since it builds up the objects with layers....

It is hard to believe it outputs the model with working gears...

Nice, but i'm waiting for the first desktop replicator technology to arrive..... 'earl grey; hot'.

I don't think the gears actually worked.

a fabricator? We have something like that at work here, it deposits plastic in tiny layers until you have a model. It goes for 50 grand...;)
I'd call it George, but maybe we can call it a fabricator, a McGuffin, a trans-flux capacitor...;)

thats a very long name and refers to only one method of 3d prototyping. "printer" is a more generalized term. specifics are usually added to it if needed; matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, etc.
If a new term is needed to replace the word 'printer' it needs to be a bit more generalized then that.
