IRgA member Hobs Reprographics in Liverpool, England demonstrated a 3-D printer at a festival at Buckingham Palace in mid-July. The shop used its Cube-X printer to create models of Buckingham Palace, a crown, and other models.
"The Duke of Gloucester was very interested in our services, given his background as an architect," said Kieran O’Brien, CEO of Hobs Reprographics, according to an article in Click Liverpool magazine. "He told us he wanted to use 3D printing to help him in building high end motor car models, rather than building models of Buckingham Palace!"
