Re: Walter Grabner's new Hi-Tech material

Typical 3D printing, using even a very good tabletop printer, still is limited to tolerances in tenths of a millimeter. We are talking here about machines that cost under $5000.

These kinds of tolerances are obviously no good for mouthpiece work. All facing are measured in hundredths of a mm. For example a mouthpiece with a tip of say 1.13, means exactly one and thirteen hundredths of a millimeter.

However, my mouthpieces are NOT printed on this class of machine. The very expensive ($250,000 and up) machines used by my business partner, Fast Radius, guarantee tolerances in the hundredths of a millimeter. We are working hard to get it down to no more than one hundredth of a millimeter.

We are pushing the envelope. We knew that when we started. It is very exciting to be involved in this new evolution in mouthpiece manufacture.

Also, we will be introducing some additional materials in 2020. Stay tuned, it will be a wild ride.

I'll be glad to answer any questions. Fire away!
