What is 3D Printing, and why do I want to use it?

3D Printing is an exciting and relatively new field of making things. Indeed there is a view that we are on the threshold of another 'Industrial Revolution'.

Imagine a spacecraft with limited storage but access to computer files, then all it has to do is print a part! Indeed the commercial printers are now printing in metal!

My ambitions are much more down to earth (sorry) and I want to print parts in plastic and use them either as printed or to use them as patterns which will melt away when Aluminum is poured in.

This is the first stage in my 'new' tool/interest that dovetails nicely with my model engineering as well as wood toys (for my grandchildren) as well as my pen making and other items.
