Is there anything like a Desktop Manufacturing Machine (DMM)?
The DMM is about the size of a conventional microwave oven so there’s limits to the size of what you can make. It connects to your computer just like a printer. All you do is load the program that came with the DMM and then call-up whatever you have from your product File. Next, you click on the manufacture icon and the machine goes to work. Before long the picture on the computer monitor becomes the real thing. The process is no harder than calling up a picture and printing it out. Any product you want can be downloaded from a website except for the core materials and chemicals which would have to be ordered and shipped.
I’m not tring to sell anything. I just thought it would be nice to share an idea and find out if there is anything like it. What I am discribing is like a Rapid Prototype Machine (RPM). However, the differences are black & white compared to color. The DMM uses a variety of nanoscale materials and bonding agents and a RPM uses a wire feed polymer material.
