– 3D-Modelle & 3D-Drucker –

The Blueprinter provides an interesting alternative to laser sintering (LS) technology (which makes those nylon prints you see from Shapeways). Invoking a process called selective heat sintering (SHS), this Danish machine uses a thermal printhead to fuse powder into a 3D object. In that way, the method is similar to laser sintering, but at a much lower cost. As Rachel pointed out in her first post on the topic, back in 2012, the Blueprinter is about €12,500, compared to the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of an LS machine.
