i am john sztucki from merthyr tydfil, i am an electrical engineer for coal mines and have never done anything to do with 3d printing, i assemble scale models and paint them and miniature figures in 1/48 scale and want to do models of specific mining machines in 1/48 scale that not available as models from any manufacturer of models that i know of

Hi John! Welcome to the forum. If you’re interested in getting started with 3D printing, it might make sense to work with a 3D designer at first: https://i.materialise.com/en/hire-a-3d-designer

Hello this is Lucy Jung im from south Korea living in UK. I use rhino for 3D modelling and currently planning to get some printing done through imaterialise as college tutors recommended you. I did lots of 3D printings through college , project… but never done metal -
My projects are for patient centred medical devices.

;)!

Hi Lucy,
Nice to meet you and thank you for introducing yourself! :slight_smile: You can learn all about our metal materials here: https://i.materialise.com/en/3d-printing-materials/metals

We look forward to printing your first models :wink:

Hello, I’m a mechanical design engineer by day who also enjoys building scale models of industrial plants I help design. My name is Bill March and I’m from New York currently in Alabama for work, but hoping to perhaps return to Houston again. I joined this site because I learned through a blog story on “extreme 3d printing” on ponoko.com of an amazing 3-D model done by i.materialise of a Linde AG refining plant based on a real plant in Chile. I’m very intrigued & would very much like to learn more of that project, & how I can scale that model to my needs, as well as develop similar models to 1/87 based on the same shapes & patterns. At this point, money is not so much the concern as much as time is. Thank you in advance for your help & direction.

Hi Stephanie

I did try thru your site customer window box comments thing - nothing - hence trying this forum after 6 days. Maybe it’s something that needs to be addressed.

Hi David,

Sorry to hear that - that shouldn’t be the case! I will pass on your feedback so we can fix this issue as soon as possible.
Kind regards,

Hello,
I am Swetabjo from Germany.

I am new to the imaterialse world. Working as an architect in Germany as a full time day job and making footwear as a side hobby.

I have been printing and working with soft/flexible materials a lot in the past years using FDM Printers. I am very much interested in making High heels which combines soft and hard materials.

Hi Swetjabo,
Welcome to the i.materialise forum! If you’re interested in making 3D-printed shoes, you should definitely check out some of our previous projects with shoe designers for inspiration:

I am John , i live in Brighton UK , narried with 3 grown up daughters.
I served in the British Army for 24 years.
i am retired now . I don`t design or print , i just get the file printed and paint it.
I collect most British modern military weapons and figures , i was introduced to imaterialise by a fella who was teaching me fusion 360 , but gave that up as my brain is not big enough for that.
I have a guy who i pay to make my print files, but will have a good look around the forum
hello to you all

Hello All,
My name is Eleni and live in London. My background is Software engineer and I started looking into 3D printing after I realised how expensive is to produce anything with injection moulding :slight_smile:.
I have used i.materialize to print some prototypes of my product and I am considering a small production as well. My product at the moment is an anti-stress pen and the e-shop is this if you want to have a look, https://shop.writewithbar.com . After all, Imaterialize printed it for me :wink: At the moment I am trying to understand the recyclability of the MJF TPU and how it works. For example: can I send you back the product and you can recycle it? Do I just throw it to the recycle bin?

Happy to meet you all :slight_smile:

Hello everyone!
My name is Klaris. I am from Germany.
I am fond of technical innovations and Artificial Intelligence.
I am working in a company 3D Generation which produces 3D figures of people and animals like this

I am sincerely glad that I can work in this area. But I am a newbie in 3d printing so I have a lot of questions about 3D models, 3D printing, materials and so on. I hope that I will find a lot of interesting things in this community.
At least, I was already inspired by the stories of its participants, which surprisingly combine different areas of activity with 3D printing. This is unbelievable! :heart_eyes:
Good luck to you all!

Hi everyone!
My name is Pierre and I’m from Quebec Canada. I’m a mechanical Designer and PDM specialist with Solidworks as a freelance. I’m used to 3d print (have some 3d printers at home) and I use Simplify3d as my prefered slicer. I print with PLA and PETG aswell.

I specialized in sheetmetal models and started to 3d printe them. I am discovering the proto plasta stainless steel and the carbon fiber with FDM printer. I’m used to R&D and I love it.

Hope this is giving a short but good introduction to myself.

Best regards
Pierre

Hello,

I’m Daniel Swanson from Clearwater, Florida

I’ve been a full-time freelance computer artist since 1987, working exclusively on Apple computers.

My wife and I currently design books. Samples are at www.van-garde.com

In recent years I’ve become very interested in 3D printing, and my current new dream is to design, manufacture, and sell jewelry.

I’ve been a Foundry Modo user for years, and it’s well-suited to design jewelry.

Though I’ve used ■■■■■■■■■.com for years to manufacture various designs, I’m experiencing various difficulties in fully setting up my shop. So I want to check out iMaterialize as a possible alternative.

Hi I’m Ford Smith from Atlanta Georgia USA. My Business name is The Vintage Smith

I am a full time Jewelry Designer and caster. I use Art Cam and Rhino. For the past 22 years I have made models using a milling machine which recently died of old age and the lack of parts. I am debating on getting a new milling machine or a 3D printer.

Hi I am Edd Bax (MadEdd) from the Netherlands.
I am a designer and specialised employee at Antwerp University, Faculty of Design Sciences, in the model making workshop.
Besides that, I run my own business in 3D design, 3D scanning called CTd by Edd. My workshop is in the former shower area in an obsolete swimming hall.
I design parts for prototyping, art works or educational stuff.
The last thing I ordered are a complete alphabet of small hands for a finger spelling teacher.
Most design are made by Fusion360, but in the Makersbase Breda, where I also am employed, we use Tinkercad, for the kids and starters. I have my own 3D printers: a Prusa MK3s with MMU and an Elegoo Mars Pro 2 resin printer. I order my design when a customer wants a larger amount of prints, or when ordered prints are in a material I can’t print.
