One important thing to remember about 3D printing

With the layered construction or additive process of 3D printing it is possible to print multiple parts at one time. It is even conceivable to print a whole assembly in one printing. The individual parts can be interlinked as you construct them. Here is a chain, the type you would find on a bicycle, developed in one printing. This implies that 3D printing or additive manufacturing allows shapes to be created that would otherwise be impossble to assemble or construct with more traditional methods. Here at the Cyber Wigwam we demonstrate the capability to print multiple parts interlinked in the same setup with our new acquisition, the Makerbot Replicator. Now all our bloggers at the Cyber Wigwam have a personalized keychain with their name embossed as part of the print.
