Group: Administrators Posts: 1K, Visits: 86	I was wondering if anyone had any experience of 3D printing We have broken on of our wind generator blades and I now discover that the manufacturer and has gone bust and spares are not available. Would it be appropriate to ask a 3D printing company to make me a new set by scanning the surviving blades? Would the printed material be strong enough for replacement blades? Simon
