It seems odd how all the moving parts were made from a scan? Unless they fitted the regular internal parts to a scanned & printed carb body?
I don't doubt that they did it, I would just like to know more detail!

The video had a short scene with the actual grey 3D printed thing in it and I think I saw what would have been a removable cover with probably an accelerator pump diaphragm behind it printed as one piece so maybe it works but with reduced functionality? Fascinating nevertheless particularly if they are printing with the minute drillings for the primary circuit in place.If those drillings were two axis i.e going through a right angle bend as they sometimes do on carburetors, how did they scan it?
I also wonder if it comes with printed threads in the body. |

scan the carb body and parts, then edit the body in solidworks to add any missing/un-scanable features. assemble in software and print as one but more likely, print all the parts and assemble. my guess is you’d use as many available parts as possible (jets, needle, screws etc) and print what was unobtainable. i’d like to know what material/method it was printed in.

Euro fighter Typhoon fore-planes or canards, are 3D printed in Titanium with a honeycomb core.... Wow! (I've touched one.. )
UKMOC already has a 3D project under it's belt. I have one on my Monster. Rob was a huge help with this project. You can open the 3D model file here and manipulate it.. See post #57 http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ht=knob&page=4
