Print your own parts. Shapeways -3D Printing.

We will be using this for parts at work. Mostly for R&D, but with the new advancements in material they could be real parts. Cost can be cheap or expensive depending on the size and material. I created a simple exhaust tip for my dirt bike and to have it printed in Steel is going to be too expensive. It is $217 in steel, but only $35 in flexible plastic, obviously that won’t work. But it can be done is my point

All you have to do is create a model in a CAD Program of what you want then upload it and then have it printed. If you have a great idea you can also have the website sell it for you and you get a profit.

Which parts do we replace a lot on our motorcycle or in our daily use?
It's a good start to learn CAD designs too.
You can start from Tinkercad | Create 3D digital designs with online CAD
It gives you lessons on basics of CAD designing.
 
I wonder if I should buy a 3d printer...............printer out another 3d printer and sell it to get my money back..................:rolleyes:
