Rapid Prototyping

[TinGoat]

Hey Kids,

Are you looking for a specific prototype that's not commercially available.

Here's the answer to your prayers.

I found the link to this website on the Monorail Society's Yahoo! Group

Monorail models

Just found a website about 3d printing. They have one railroad train set and could prob. build any other, they need a pic to go by.

its in german {Actually Dutch} and I am no help there sorry! I have seen the youtube vids where they have moving gears as well.

These are N scale bodies for Dutch train models.

The comment says: "Please note these models often need to be sanded, since surplus material is present on the surface. Our apologies"

One could design a monorail model using Sketchup or Rhino or a slew of other CAD programs and upload it to Shapeways to have it printed.

Quite amazing.

Totally amazing!!!
