What is RepRap?



Look at your computer setup and imagine that you hooked up a 3D printer. Instead of printing on bits of paper this 3D printer makes real, robust, mechanical parts. To give you an idea of how robust, think Lego bricks and you're in the right area. You could make lots of useful stuff, but interestingly you could also make most of the parts to make another 3D printer. That would be a machine that could copy itself.

Yikes, what great ideas....I especially like the the "Ted" thing, as it would make access to all the old "Playboy" mags, so, so convenient....:jump:

Trouble with all that great stuff, given Man's history, sooner or later, he will find a way to exploit the masses, or discover a clever new way to kill himself with these new technologies.....:D

Thanks Dave, .....:ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

best,
