Large Scale 3D Printing/ Multi Medium 3D printing

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

I am seeing a lot of different 3D printers and all of wich are more compact and made to print small objects.  What i am wanting to know are there 3D printers that can be made for the home that can print large scale objects and if there are not then how can i build one of my own for printing large scale objects?   Another question i have is are there mediums other then plastic that can be used to print 3d objects and how can we get our hands on this kind of printing hardware to print objects out of metal and other mediums?  Thank you for reading and i look forward to your answers and replys.

    company print metal but that is a complicated system, the machine mixes the ground up metal with a solution that adheres everything together as it prints. then they let the metal absorb bronze. For building a printer big enough I would start by scaling everything up.
