Default RE: 3-D Printing
Hi,

The company I work in has a Rapid Prototyping Division where we have a few of the different RP systems, SLA, SLS, DMLS, FDM, 3D printer and thermojet system...

The work volume of such machines are quite limited. Probably a good way to build patterns of very intricate small scale parts, and using these patterns to create moulds for casting the parts. But definitely not for big plugs, etc., as the build material are definitely not cheap.
