It's interesting to see that Cubic is still supporting Helisys LOM machines (and that your startup offers that as a service). They always produced the most interesting parts, imho (though a pain to post process).
I worked at an RP consortium nearly a decade ago and always figured that the LOM they had was a relic. It appears they still have it running (http://www.rpc.msoe.edu/machines_lom.php http://www.rpc.msoe.edu/machines_lom.php).
- steveklabnik 17y agoI just talked to someone from the MSOE the other day ago, I think... Yeah, those old LOM machines are crazy. The new LOM hotness is coming out of a company called MCor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vow5XvHoFZc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vow5XvHoFZc I'm going to be excited to see these machines later this year. Printing with A4 paper means the parts should be so cheap! And they say the consistency is similar to wood...
- FlorinAndrei 17y agoHmm, printing paper is not exactly super-cheap per weight unit.
- steveklabnik 17y agoYes, but weight isn't what matters, it's volume.
