intertronic Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hello everyone, i was on this site http://www.3ders.org/3d-printer/3d-printer-price.html where you can get an overview about the prices and some specifications of 3D Printer Do-it-yourself (DIY) and Cmmercial does anyone have some experience to print 3D models created with GIS? i founded (thanks to google) an instruction, seems cool https://geonet.esri.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/1734-1-99144/How%20to%203D%20Print%20a%20Topo%20Map%20with%203D%20Features%20Anywhere%20in%20the%20World.pdf https://geonet.esri.com/blogs/larry-zhang/2014/10/21/how-to-3d-print-a-topo-map-with-3d-features-anywhere-in-the-world 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yacker Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 What is the cost for 3d printing ? I've been doing terrain models with foam and cnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 everything you need to know about 3d printing in general : http://www.3dgeni.us/faqs-about-3d-printing/ I quote related to price : Less than you might think. Filament typically costs around $45 / £30 / €35 for a 1kg reel. This means – very roughly – that 1 metre of 3mm filament will cost around 45¢ / 30p / 35c. So the complex pair of nut crackers, which uses 4m of filament to print, will cost you about $1.80 / £1.20 / €1.40; this thimble (right) costs about 15¢ / 10p / 12c. Click on either thumbnail to read the original posts. Either way, it’s surprisingly reasonable for what you end up with. Why is it so cheap? Because most printers use standard reels of filament, manufacturers of 3D printers can’t control the cartridge price the way inkjet printers do, and it’s up to the open market to set the cost of filament. A notable exception is 3D Systems, maker of the Cube and CubeX machines, whose printers only use their own brand compatible cartridges, and which consequently cost significantly more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intertronic Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 thanks for the site, seems really interesting, especially some basics/ beginners tools to print.. do you have experiences in 3d printing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 i dont have experience in 3d printing, use of 3d printing quite uncommon in my country, maybe the hardware itself still expensive too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Idiot's Guides: 3D Printing3D printing is the hottest new technology. It allows just about any at-home inventor, artist, or engineer to design, create, and "print" their own parts, artwork, or whatever else can be imagined — all at very reasonable costs. Idiot's Guides: 3D Printing explores this new revolution by explaining all of the basics of materials, parts, software, modeling, design, and finishing. The book then takes it to the next level by teaching readers how to take their new skills and print some simple, fun projects. Helpful advice on setting up a home-built 3D printer, buying a manufactured printer, selecting raw materials, and finding plans and projects online, are also covered.
