Default Using 3D printers in my work!

Hi Guys,

I want to share with you some proyects that I did at work for several events. As some of you know I work for a software company and "part" of my research is on a 3D printing area... we decided to push the limits to see what can be done with these machines at a larger scale for the "physical prototyping" before it goes to final production. All designs where made using our software that we produce, Autodesk Inventor. We are using for these specific designs 3D Printers from Stratasys. All prototypes are scale 1:1. Every single part or hose is ABS plastic that came from a 3D print. The turboprop simulates rotation via the electric starter in combination with the planetary gears.

And yes.... I get to make a few parts using these machines for my turbines helos or my Jet planes too!!!

Have fun with the pictures,

Gonzalo







And here is another project that I did last year:
