Erm, Belated hellos

Well, I suppose I should have done this first, but I was enjoying my look around the forums.

I'm Jimmy, I'm from County Durham in the UK and I own a busy Design company producing websites, printwork, animation, photography, 3D stuff including prototyping and multimedia solutions.

I have a good team of designers from all practices working under duress in the dungeon

My personal preference is for typography,photography, 3D design and prototyping (I have access to a rather large and expensive prototyping machine for free).

I have recently started on a Degree in Graphic Design in Teesside University since the kids are now mostly at school and the wife's finished her degree, so I thought I'd join the fraternity of skiving students

I joined as I had visited the 'rust forums as guest for a while and liked the way everyone is non-judgmental and always happy to assist and give out "secrets" of the design world, without being snobbish. I'm still enjoying it and looking forward to producing some 3D tutorials for Max and Sketchup for the tut's section.

Hi Jimmy - we've already "spoken", but I'm pleased to welcome you officially to the wonderful world of BioRUST.

Hello Jimmy.What exactly is a prototyping machine? Regards danielm

Thanks Tamlin

and this is a prototyping machine, it builds 3D models using minute nozzles that build up the model using very thin layers of plastic.

It's very cool to see something you design in virtual terms created in actual materials.

I have access to two machines, one that handles 12" cubed maximum and one that does 1.5Metres, ideal for building car body designs.
