Next Gen Plug making: Print them!

[The Dad Fisherman]

I saw those years ago, we had one at my old company....a buddy of mine was a manager for the company in this area, it is located in Burlington MA. the print head basically uses superglue as its ink. it "prints" a layer in a plastic powder, shakes and lowers itself a fraction and prints the next layer building up to its final 3-D print.

it was pretty amazing....it can actually print out fully functional ball bearings that rotate.

trust me....the first time I saw it....fishing lures were the 1st thing that popped into my mind

We almost bought one of the Zcorp printers a few years ago. A plug would run about $100 cost.

They are really cool though, and yes waterproof. Foam powder is dipped in resin to harden after printing.

They said it's about $15. per sq. inch.
