Last evening I went to a beginners class on 3D printing. The class was using a program by Autodesk called " 123D Design " to create files for 3D printing. Looks like a pretty good program especially considering that the program is free.
The local library will print a 3D object for free as long as it does not take more than 5 hours to print and you accept whatever color they are using.
Looks like it would be easy to print up a pattern to use in casting parts.
If you search on 123D Design , you will find some additional programs to use for things as scanning an object and creating a duplicate by 3 D printing.
So is anyone doing anything with 3D printing?
