Dan Gelbart & Rapidia

[PeterT]

I was wondering what happened to one of my YouTube hero's, Dan Gelbart, since his educational videos kind of stopped a while back. Video & link shows likely answer.
Wow. I think I just had a 3DP metal spiritual awakening. Now how many sleeps before a Shapeways or similar buys some machines so I can upload some CAD files? This is big. And a Canadian company to boot.

More links, somewhat same info, somewhat varying print quality
Still cant find any firm that has one set up for 3rd party printing. Maybe still too new.

Peter, Have you decided where to put the printer and oven in your shop yet?

LOL. A bit rich for my blood. Hoping there will be developing lab one day soon. I snooped around Shapeways forum & not a single reference to the company. Maybe its too new.
Lots of references to PO'd people about escalating print costs & diminished store sales though.
