Rapid Fire Opinion
- 3D printed forms for sheet metal pressing?
- Sort of Worked…
- Interesting to see the progress but it still required a mill to get a usable form
- With more experimentation and proper design of the part to be bent this could be a real option
- 3D printed tool punches as well
3D model of the pump bracket Parker design for his home brewing rig. Modeled with Autodesk Fusion 360.
Slicing the STL file that was output from Autodesk Fusion 360. Parker uses Cura for the slicer currently.
One over night session of printing and the first bracket is off the 3D printer! Turned out great so far!
Special thanks to whixr over at Tymkrs for the intro and outro!
