[GreenKeys] Print hammers

[DR HOUSE]

This is being discussed.  I have not yet heard back from Mercer so it  
is possible
they will do the job for me.  Only time will tell.  If not we can go  
in a different
direction.

Hi:

Has any one considered using a 3D printer system to make these needed  
print
hammers???

You can normally get them to make a run of less than 1000 items fairly  
cheap.
You need to clearly define the material to be used and then they  
create it in a
3D printer. I saw it being done at the recent AFCEA show in San Diego.
Impressive. from very small items (such as a screw) to fairly large  
items (more
than 10 inches in size).

One of the companies at the show was:

or:

You need to send them a new sample to be scanned in their 3D laser  
system.

Just an idea...
