Chris Williams is an assistant professor in both Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. He has brought the Fab@Home machine to Virginia Tech to research ways the machine can be used for educational purposes as well as reach people with skills and talents in other areas of interest. He is mainly interested in showing students with interest in the arts that, through a concept such as rapid prototyping, they have a place within the field of engineering.
Uses of Rapid Prototyping
In talking about future uses of this machine, Chris mentions this being something people could use at home. What predictions can you make for how a machine like this could/will fit in to daily lives in the future?
Objet Geometries has just announced an extension to its trade-in program. They're offering up to $80,000 credit for an older Objet 3D printer as a trade-in when buying one of their Connex multi-material 3D printers or a newer Eden machine. And, they're offering some incentives for trade-ins of non-Objet 3D printers. Worth checking it all out – www.objet.com.
