Way cool. We could use it for making computer case.

Out of plastic ?

There are metal 3d printers by the way but the surface of the metal is really rough !

Metal?!!! Ooo, I"m going to google around a bit for that, that would have to be an interesting process. Tx !

Yes I believe they used some type of glue to hold the metal powder together and then heated it to make the metal bond.

Edit: found a video I hope the link works

Thank you ! That is a very interesting process. I think its totally built up with aluminum powder then baked, then the other metals "added" with a second baking. Not much info on that tho in the vid. I've done some lost cast work for a friend many years ago... was very cool. Thank you again.
