[NSRCA-discussion] 3D Printed UAV Article...

[Bob Richards]

The 3D printers can print something like a fully functional adjustable wrench - without any assembly. I've got a sample somewhere that has a crankshaft and connecting rods, that is fully functional, without any removable parts.
 
Like I said before, though, the printers are limited by the material they print with.

Matt,
 
They forgot to mention... some assembly required.

Ron,
 
I remember the video. At first I was impressed. Then reality set in, realizing the video trickery. I'm a definite Doubting Thomas on that one; only one way I would believe it

Jay Leno, huh!! The king of the put-on?

Regards
 
Matt

Jay Leno visited a machine shop where they demo'd printing of a cresent wrench.
The printing process made the wrench with the moving adjustable parts already assembled.
They did not mention how long it took the printer.
