Time lapse of world's largest 3D-printed object



Researchers at the MDF have 3D-printed a large-scale trim tool for a Boeing 777X, the world’s largest twin-engine jet airliner. The additively manufactured tool was printed on the Big Area Additive Manufacturing, or BAAM machine over a 30-hour period. The team used a thermoplastic pellet comprised of 80% ABS plastic and 20% carbon fiber from local material supplier The tool has proven to decrease time, labor, cost and errors associated with traditional manufacturing techniques and increased energy savings in preliminary testing and will undergo further, long term testing.

  2. People have made houses out of a printer
  3. Who else just skipped to the end 😂😂
  4. What about the guy that printed a whole house with his selfmade 3d-printer - Think thats a little bigger than yours
