Hi Members,
I am contacting you as I am embarking on an incredibly exciting opportunity in the 3d printing industry. I am in the startup stage of designing a new 3d printer that will incorporate all of the industry’s best features and then some.
I am extending an invitation to members to become involved in this project with the hope that with your input we can produce the best 3d printer in the world and make this technology go mainstream.
What exactly is this project about and why does it need to be done?
I believe the biggest barrier standing in the way of 3D printing is that the general public doesn’t have access to a reliable 3D printer that is useful to them.
Current 3D printers that are trying to break into this space are really only capable of making toys or rapid prototypes which has very limited appeal to the average person.
I am putting together a team that will make a 3D printer that is making real products that can be used today. We will be using polymers (that are available right now) that are better than a lot of metals that can be used in 3D printing. We will develop the ability to use PEEK and ULTEM in our 3D printers. PEEK has a melting point of 343°C and a operating temperature of 250°C
Until now only high end manufacturing has been able to use these materials like in the Boeing 747. This will give people like farmers and car enthusiasts (not to mention many others) a product not only suitable but also better and cheaper than current replacement parts. It will give them the freedom to improve on the original designs or create entirely new products.
We will not only set a new standard in 3D printing but we will bring together other manufacturing industries by combining them with a laser cutter/engraver, 3D scanner and CNC mill. Having all these machines in one easy to use product will give people the ability to bring manufacturing back to the end user.
To make this vision a reality there needs to be a global network of like-minded individuals and companies that bring together the best minds and ideas. I already have started putting this network together but I need the support of a small dedicated local team and this is where the MHV members can get involved if you are interested to find out more. Please come along on Thursday 11th of February at 7:00pm and I will explain this in much more detail. If you are unavailable that night you can call me directly.
Steve Jobs said it best, “the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
I am that type of crazy and I am hoping you are to.
Kind Regards
