Amazing work

It will be very interesting to see what you have planned for the future. Can 3D printers create a proper mainspring from the material used in the printing process? This would seem to be an issue...

Interesting member here..

I was surfing Instagram today and happened upon the account of NMANOUSOS. In his feed he has pictures and videos of enlarged movements and enlarged tourbillons all made with 3D printers. AND THEY WORK! Maybe some of you have known this for some time but i...

thank you!

thank you Fitz! I enjoy sharing the development process of my work. I love horological engineering, I often dream of clockwork. 3D printing allows me to make those ideas a physical reality in an intriguing way. Tourbillon 1000% uses a symmetrical co-axial...

3D printer printing steel or gold. And a good 3D scanner. I believe the old industrial world still needs to get to grips with this industrial revolution that's heading their way. It's quite amazing what is possible already. Though only a few big companies...

I am working on the mainspring now. I will use a much stiffer material, for it - 3D printed carbon fiber. I have used it for some pinions already with very good results
