Revision as of 20:35, 16 March 2013

Taking the idea from the RepRap wiki, I think it's good to share these sort of informations (and maybe someday to make group orders for several FabLabs at a time).

If the reprap list is good for filament suppliers, we can have here others things like sheet materials, etc. each on a dedicated page or all on this one (at least for the beginning). --Emmanuel Gilloz 15:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Sheets and flat material

Good to know :

  • you may find local companies that will agree to give you their "wastes" for free (wasted material for them can still be 600 x 400 x 4 mm PMMA by example, pretty good for the laser... and did I forgot to say "for free" ?).
  • On the other hand, try to avoid general stores, except for wood/mdf they are usually expensive (e.g.: 100€/m² of PMMA).
  • There is two kind of plastic sheet : extruded (good for lasercutting) and casted (good for machining).
