I just KNOW you have to have one of those puppies in your lab, Max.
( and if you don't, then I'm sure you can justify getting one )

Walk in the park.

Max, AND when you make one of these "Walk in the park" Carbon Fiber "Y's" sell me one LOL

So far as I know, this tech is limited to what material is used. It's a polyester resin, for now.

I DO NOT KNOW for sure.

I found this:

Many different materials can be used for 3D printing, such as ABS plastic, PLA, polyamide (nylon), glass filled polyamide, stereolithography materials (epoxy resins), silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymers and polycarbonate.
