I just caught this via Tom’s hardware this morning. They just came out of stealth. This looks like a game changer for rapid prototyping by makers, education, and small offices. It’s definitely on my radar now. We’ll see how long before the overseas knockoffs flood the market and ruin the party for us makers.

@bar - it might be worthwhile for you to reach out to them. It looks to be out of Wisconsin. It could be a way for you to rapidly prototype Maslow parts.
Atm, the material available appear to be nylon, tpu, and glass reinforced. It’ll be interesting what other materials they might offer in the future like metals (copper, aluminum, etc.) It would super interesting if one could be a “green” ceramic material to then be kiln fired. Anyone for a homemade rotating detonation engine?
This is an interesting discussion of the “combustive” nature around the ultrafine powders:
Cheers.
(Corrected to Wisconsin. Thank you for pointing that out Bob. I was distracted by the kiddos when originally writing this and misremembered.)
