[QUOTE="STWshooter87, post: 1572703, member: 18476"] I am the 3D Printer Director in my company. We use it to create rapid prototypes during product development. It's where all the new electronic devices and toys begin their lives. It's called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and it's like weedeater twine meets hot glue gun meets printer. My team has printed nearly 1000 prototypes over the last 3 years since purchasing the one Jay Leno has in this video. I don't like the ZCorp machine because the printed parts are spongy and feel like seashells so they're really brittle. The Dimension line of printers are made by Stratasys and they print rugged fully functional ABS plastic models. Really fantastic devices. It pays for itself every year it is in operation. Yes you could print a gun but the barrel would blow apart IF you could indeed print a rigid enough firing pin/striker/hammer. LOL We are one of 3 in Stillwater (that I know about) [/QUOTE]
