More specifically, it demonstrates that such a machine can manufacture things that can not be manufactured using conventional technologies. This changes everything.
are the support bit that dissolve made out of something else and that’s why they dissolve and not the actual structure? I don’t think that was covered.
My main question is, How did you design these two bearings to be in between each other? If you couldn’t have made the structure without putting two bearings together to scan in the first place, how did you organize the two parts into place? I assume some sort of model software, yes?
Those bearings are fully functional but useless. Perhaps they should enter politics. All kidding aside, I am totally geeking out over the concept of printing impossible hardware.
What is with all the “what’s the point” comments, obviously it’s to DEMO the technology of 3D printing, there IS no usable purpose…..
can you use it to replace a real bearing (steel bearing)
And how strong it it.(compair it something)

Cool
Do you reckon the 3D printing could “print” the Impossible Triangle.
Can you do steel items?
No just ABS plastic.
oh i see balls bearing . . .
out of curiosity what would this be used for if anything?
rapid prototyping, for presentations and designing/development
1. Buy 3d Printer
2. Print, more 3d Printers
3. Profit
1. Copy every witty comment you ever see.
2. Be an unoriginal follower.
3. ???
4. Profit.
When there’s that many balls in a ring that large, a single gap isn’t going to affect the function of the bearings.
What would be an application for such a configuration though?
thats fucking genius lmaoo XD
can you recycle the plastic bearings and build something else with it

what material have you used?

THE technology for these printers will only get better I assume!! Amazing machine!!

how stable can you make these Bearings? I am working on a project that needs bearings. Im am thinking of prating them as part of the design.
Use the printer to print another printing machine.
Is your “bath” ultrasonic? Incredible creation BTW!
