When a friend of mine introduced me over email to Laurie Mirsky, the owner of Toronto 3D printing & design studio 3DPHACKTORY, I almost couldn’t believe what I was reading.
劳里（Laurie）最近对自己的业务进行了启动 - 在当地电影业工作 - 并计划提供开放式工作站，并有机会让任何人3D在Objet Connex 500.
Now, if your experience with 3D printing is mainly the hobbyist stuff, that might not sound like a big deal… just smoother prints, right? Well, the Connex 500 is a high-end device that is capable of mixing multiple material characteristics in a single print.
这意味着，如果您想打印钥匙扣，尾巴可能会柔韧和橡胶，而环部分可能像腹肌一样僵硬。这也意味着可选水平的不透明度，例如您想打印由肉质透明碎片和嵌入式骨骼制成的真人大小的医疗扫描……就像我最喜欢的照片一样from the Objet blog:
To have all that power, at a local studio anyone can drop in to, is pretty damn cool.
Things have been slower to ramp up than originally planned, but Laurie has hired some designers and brought in high-end 3D scanning equipment to assist with making copies and reverse-engineering. The idea being that no matter what a person walks in with – a pencil sketch, finished model, existing part or just an idea – the end result will be a new physical object.
The trick though, is expanding the market. From what I understand, the studio could probably do just fine focusing on film and TV work. But Laurie is intent on bringing the high end printers to the masses, and plans to explore different projects and seminars in order to spread the word.
