20 years ago I got introduced to 3D printing with this cool little gizmo. Enjoy!

2000 was also the 20th century.
Really love your videos. Of all the videos I watch yours are by far the best
I think I've seen one of those powdered plastic printers somewhere!
Cool info !!!
Ahh, memories. Remember seeing that back back in the day.
Not long ago I had a job doing commissioning a UPS at a JPL lab that used the same technology for 3D printing metal aerospace parts. Was really cool but the operator was a bit of a nit.
And BTW Fran, love your channel, Keep up the great work!
WTF you mean to say we could be printing awesome stuff 20 years ago ? Imagine how advance 3D printers would be today if we had 20 years of 3D evolution.
It's a shame that all of the sintering-type printers will probably never be home-viable to the extent that SLA and FDM are (so where the price comes down), since they don't need support structures, It's at the same time crazy to think about, and kinda obvious in retrospect that alongside the other big and heavy tools (for example, computers that were exponentially slower than what's in most of our pockets) that made their way into the home, we can now have tiny (sometimes kinda finicky) on-demand manufacturing plants in our workshops.

Dang that is so cool! I had no idea 3D printing went that far back
3d printing is being held back for many reasons as the tech gets better and better. testing and durability of parts, the tech (even for starting back in the 70's/80's) is still new and being tested before being trusted. the tech is still advancing quickly (why pay to get the best printer now when it will be outdated next year). also subtractive manufacturing (milling/grinding) are trusted ways of making metal parts and even as 3d printing advances, much of the advances also apply to new subtractive machining techniques continuing to advance the trust in subtractive techniques.
