Do you know how gasoline is made? Neither do we, but our customer tells us it involves a huge machine similar to the one seen in this picture. They wanted a tabletop plastic demo that they could assemble at a trade show and demonstrate how they work on these mechanisms called a “Cyclone”. The part was printed using polyjet and FDM technologies. The semi-transparent pieces are printed with Veroclear. Some pieces snap together with magnets for easy assembly, while others twist together with a tight slip fit.
If you have ideas about what we can miniaturize for you, please let us know.
