Rob came to see me a few days ago. He said he had a little project and that we’d been recommended to him. He was very cross that a rapid prototyping firm had completely messed up his job. He showed me the drawings and a machined part and I had to agree -The part did not match the drawing.
He asked me if I could make a prototype for him and I started straight away. We agreed that I’d model the part in 3D and once approved, I’d quote it and then make it within a week. Here it is all done. I can’t tell you what it’s for because it’d be unfair on Rob. I can tell you that it was machined from solid pieces of Nylon 6.6 and that everything fitted and worked first time and on time. Rob is very pleased. It’s not 3D printing but it is rapid prototyping.
By the way… we have a very close working relationship with a company offering accurate parts 3D printed in a clear acrylic type material. We got some done recently and they were very impressive.
