Just got an email for the NBM show in Indy and this was one of the vendors who will be attending.

Anybody see one of these yet?

In addition, printed graphics is easily removed with acetone without body damage, and rewriting is also easy.
Uh, no. Especially if there is overspray on plastic pieces. Neat stuff, but how many people want to have their vehicles as test subjects?

 

[shakey0818]

I would use mine as a test subject then set up my power washer with a whirly bird tip and let it blast away for a few days straight.

So they mounted a print head to a "wraptor"???LOL

:ROFLMAO: i knew they would find a use for that hunk of junk.

Pretty cool! I wanna see it do VW Beetle fenders. Or a PT Cruiser.

 

[shakey0818]

I wonder if it can do a roof,trunk or hood.

 

[Locals Find!]

at 2:28 into the video they briefly show someone removing the print from the bus. I just can't tell if he is sanding it off or just buffing it off. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can figure it out and let me know.

There was a company trying to sell me something almost identical to that when I opened my shop 14 years ago. That salesman and the Van Ladder salesman would call me at least once a week.

 

[MikesSigns]

Look mom ...no hands....no wrinkles....air bubbles....ugly seams..... Just lots of over spray ....blah

 

[tiredcreations]

If their website is any indication of the quality of their equipment, I mean... not that I got it all figured out... just sayin.

Yeah, this has been around for several years. If I remember correctly it was an American inventor, maybe he sold it to the Chinese and made a ton of money for a really neat concept that just isn't practical. Practical application of this idea would require something like a huge 3-D router septup, 3-D scan the vehicle, etc. It would cost a ton of money, maybe several ton.

Did anyone else notice that their computers are from the stone age?

 

[artbot]

everyone knows the future is programmable graphics. this is about 10 years too late. that said, it took some really smart dudes to get this thing to work.

 

[mark galoob]

Come on man give yourself some credit. It's something I'd expect you to come up with.

 

[Mike Paul]

I saw that at Sign World in A/C 7-10 years ago. It's been around for a while.
For a complex piece of equipment their website sure is lame...

 

[houseofgrafix]

Saw something like that at SEMA one year but it used paint instead.
