Is there a broad selection of material for 3D printers and is it durable. Ie. will the dash vent stand up to the beating sun? Can you print items that need to be strong and tuff like poly bushings?
We have 3D printers at school. they are good for showing the parts and their geometry, but the materials are quite brittle. We have a few printed models of a collet that we've done in class, but some of the "legs" have broken off just during lectures.... :banghead:
It's good for a non stressed part, but the materials available right now are limited for strength.
