Re: 3D-printed calculator parts? Message #4 Posted by Frank Boehm (Germany) on 16 May 2013, 2:00 p.m., in response to message #3 by Jean-Michel
Of course there are different types of 3D-printers (I think they have already created cell tissues with a 3D-printer), but in general the "functional" parts are failing, e.g. snap-in parts, screwposts, which need a certain "softness" and "flexibility", but also strength. ABS or polycarbonate are the preferred plastic types, metal will not really work for this type of application.
