This is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) build of a small cup 4 times faster than normal. It really takes about 9 minutes to print. The full unaltered version is here: www.youtube.com www.printo3d.com

Rapid Prototyping Right Before Your Eyes is presented by Print To 3D. www.printo3d.com This 3D printer is a Dimension 768 BST. The cup is 1 inch tall and 1/2 inch in diameter. The base or floor of the cup is 40 thousands of an inch thick as are the sidewalls of the cup. The stem of the cup is 100 thousands of an inch in diameter. This machine uses Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM for short. The machine is basically a large hot glue gun!

change they intend to build into a system. But what is the “right amount” of prototyping ? Can a person “go overboard” with prototyping, doing too much of it so that they never have time to
do “real” work ? Who’s the arbiter of what the correct amount of prototyping ? Can a virtuoso programmer get away with doing no prototyping whatsoever ?)
Is there a “sweet spot” in the development, where an optimal amount of prototyping is performed ?
