Why do that when you can just print guns?

The gun has made a part now though with different plastics though which fired over 6000 shots! Pretty saucy stuff.
Would be interested to see how some skis came out of a 3D printer.

Wait, the idea is a whole ski, not print parts and the. Press?

As someone that's used multiple 3D printers, this doesn't seem like a good idea at all for the foreseeable future. Plastics are not at all as interesting in skis as wood, foam, or metal composites. Extruders for the printers are nowhere near printing foam or metal composites to an accurate scale for skis, and can't print wood at all.
As much as I would love to buy next year's gear off iTunes and load it into my iPrinter, I can't see it happening anytime soon.

3d printers dont print wood or metal...and i think you're missing the point in that theres no press or anything, it's just straight up plastic. and the whole point in a 3d printer is that it creates something by building layer by layer. It's not like a CNC where you cut from a block of stuff

damn son, youre a damn good shot.
Also, i woder how poppy a plastic core would be? i feel it would snap in 2 after a half day in the park.

Yeah cause thats all that we use guns for. Slaughtering people. You must have never picked up a dictonary. Slaughter means to harvest an animal for food. Last time I check I don't make a leg of jim for dinner.

My first thought when I read the thread title was, "you can't 3D print skis, multiple materials can't be used in one output, and you can't use metal or wood."
this company did come up with a unique application for 3D printing, but I know they wouldn't handle the abuse most people on NS put their skis through.
the plastic core ski reminds me of the old solly foam-core skis. gaper could ride them, maybe this will be a cost effective way to build price-point skis... time will tell.
and you can tell the company is full of engineers, those skis are visually horrendous... at least the board from signal is cool looking, even if it is an expensive equivalent of this guy:
