Things will improve and get cheaper, but they will remain very expensive.

Polyjet machines blow these crappy FDM machines out of the water BTW.

Seriously, though, I've done some parts on a Z-Corp color 3D printer, and they come out pretty sweet... Without the rough texture of the cheaper alternatives. Still expensive as heck though!]]>Apr 21st 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel around $520 in parts]]>Apr 21st 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/SLS and SLA are far superior but they are 6 figure machines.

If you have a need for 3D printing that actually spawns a 6 figure budget, you would stick with the big stuff. If you are a hobbyist who doesn't happen to have that kind of money (you know, like the vast majority of people in the world) then the reprap system is a great option. They aren't a prime-time high production type of system.]]>Apr 21st 2010 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/

Of course HP would never allow this, there's no profit in it. Hell, even if you just busted a gear, I'm sure they'd make you pay through the nose for an "official" part and not let you print your own replacement :-P]]>Apr 21st 2010 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/lol printer woes.]]>Apr 21st 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/
Hate bloody cartridges and the atrocious software that most printers are suffering badly from. I wouldn't expect 3D printers to change any that.

"HP is offering two models, the plain Designjet 3D and the Designjet Color 3D which, wait for it, prints in color."

Oh, you wait and see...what I posted above is going to come true.

And it also seems strange that HP is simply rebranding Stratasys' printer and charging MORE for it. You would think it would cost the same, or possibly even less because of HP's marketing clout.]]>Apr 21st 2010 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/
You've got all the puzzle pieces, you've just put them together slightly incorrectly: It costs more because of HPs marketing clout.]]>Apr 21st 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/
It reminds of the the HP-branded iPods.

At that time, the rationale was that HP could help Apple expand their distribution. Maybe that's the benefit to Stratysys - perhaps HP will be pushing the printers to their huge array corporate clients. But corporate clients don't usually buy things from someone when they can get it cheap from someone else. Maybe it just gives HP some negotiating room?]]>Apr 21st 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/EPIC! +9001]]>Apr 21st 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/Apr 21st 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/hps-designjet-3d-series-start-shipping-to-wealthy-european-prot/
