A higher end machine will run about $10k, but you can build a DIY version for about $500 and its about $40 per pound for the printable ABS plastic reel

If you wanted to do more reaserch on the subject here is a book you can read about how to do it. http://www.amazon.com/Printing-Plast...ref=pd_cp_hi_2

I watched a show a year or two ago about one that uses a liquid resin and I think a laser. The part will rise out of the resin as it is being made. Cool shit. Not sure if that one could do moving parts.

The one in the jeno vid is just so you can make a copy of a part then machine the exact same part out of metal.

They both take scans of a ready made part. But I believe you can do a CAD design and make it with that to get a better look at it and make changes before doing any out of the real material they plan to use.

I networked a couple of these things. Cool as hell. No idea why it was our Faculty of Architecture that bought them though, rather than Aerospace or Mech Eng.
