Those printers would be great for machine restoration. A broken casting could be modeled and printed. The resulting printing could be sent to Cattail foundry and recast.
You do, or hire out, any final machining, and you have a restored machine.

Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night
i have read that not to far into the future 3D printers will be a common household peripheral just like the dvd burner is now.

I think you are right. Devices like the reprap are cheap and you can "recycle" your plastics and whatnot by putting grinding them and putting them back in the machine and creating something new. You can download new plans and stuff from the internet. Imagine buying something and just "printing" it out in your garage.Originally Posted by Kevin Gregoire
