Woo! Cookie cutters! My mom has a small custom sugar cookie business and has me making her custom cookie cutters. Think it’s half the reason I got a 3D printer at first lol. Still working on my post processing but she’s really liking the cutters. 3D printing is so much fun and so useful for small and large businesses.
I thought fdm prints generally weren't food safe. Not anything to do with the material itself, but the little ridges that the process leaves (between each layer) are apparently impossible to clean properly.
@@blackmcbwhite2996 There was one study recently concluding they can be cleaned just fine. But.... lol. Best practice for self printing them is just toss them and make another. Hard for a customer to do that.
as someone who makes them my self i use .8 nozzles where its less of an issue with bigger layer lines that are easier to clean. additionally, there are different grades of food safe. these are perfectly fine for minimal contact and precooked food. anything that could get in them will be cleansed during the cooking process anyways and and they dont make enough contact to leech chemicals from the dye process.
Just out of curiosity, do you print products that are in contact with food, with some specific food safe filament and steel nozzles? Is it something that the client can request for their product?
Outsourcing the printing is great but you end up with like 10% of the price value if lucky, the rest etsy and printing company will eat up. I think is great to test a product or to have it as extra if you isn't capable to produce yourself when you get massive order. But is always better to everything within your company. Because all your taxes that you will need to pay you can put towards buying equipment etc, in the end you will have 100% profit for yourself and lots of equipment and materials to play with.

Yep that’s right. I don’t know how much research has been done tho. There’s probably some paper somewhere

Great example of using your service in partnership.
Thanks. It has been really cool to see what it has enabled other companies to build
Nice example and very inspiring. Thanks! I would appreciate to get more of such examples from time to time.

Reminds me of the Himalayan caterpillar

So Slant3D is to manufacturing what AWS Cloud was to data centers
Very good analogy.
Bros Amazon without the Amazon
We are very close
