Innovative 3D metal printing! Copper, Aluminum, Steel, Titanium or other alloys
Desktop Metal – remember the name. This Massachussetts company is preparing to turn manufacturing on its head, with a 3D metal printing system that’s so much faster, safer and cheaper than existing systems that it’s going to compete with traditional mass manufacturing processes. We’ve been hearing for years now about 3D printing and how it’s going to revolutionize manufacturing. As yet, though, it’s still on the periphery.
If you want a custom light you could go to shapeways or use another 3D printservice.
They have many metalls to choose and cast parts.
If you have a 3d-printer you can make a positive model and from that you can make your molde.
Machining of flashlight bodies is fairly straight forward. 3D printing is probably more interesting when more intricate shapes are present that require considerably more machining time compared to flash light bodies.
