The Objet1000 Can 3-D Print An Entire Bicycle Frame

For really big print jobs, you need a really big 3-D printer. One of the principal limitations for most commercially available 3-D printers is their small print areas, followed closely by the fact that you can generally only print in one material at a time, restricting how complex printed objects can be. That’s why for the longest time 3-D printing was known simply as rapid prototyping--it existed to make small scale plastic models of larger, more complex objects that would later be machi...
