With the advance in 3D printing technology some of the most unlikely things have ended up being printed. A sample of a fossil, fake one of course. Parts of the body that can be attached for the handicapped and a whole lot more interesting stuff.<\/p>\n
Now if you got to thinking about what was the largest thing that had ever been printed, you may be pleased to know that it is actually a full room in a Canal House in Amsterdam. The printer which made the room possible is called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Kamermaker\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which literally translates in Dutch into room maker.<\/p>\n
The printing device is a scaled up version of the Ultimaker 3D printer. It is 6 meters high and is capable of fabricating entire sections for the room up to 3 meters high and 2 meters thick. It essentially uses melted plastic for its basic building block and layers the components by squeezing them together to form the final product.<\/p>\n
Another large scale 3D printer is the Tennessee firm Branch Technology. They use a 3.5 meter robotic arm loaded on a 10 meter rail to attach the printer head to conduct their printing. This printer uses carbon fiber and plastic as its raw material. With more science projects<\/a> coming out of the 3D printing stables, it will be interesting to see what you are printing next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the advance in 3D printing technology some of the most unlikely things have ended up being printed.
