After much research, Ive found things that definitely will change the way you make armor.
First, Ive found the MakerBot. It can be less then $1000 and no more than $2000. It is basically a PNC machine from the size of a laptop, to the size of a Printer and possibly the size of a TV(They are experimenting) This machine was invented by Bre Pettis, and who also used to work for Make Magazine.
Next, there is the Foam factory. it is invented by Bob Knetzger, and it is powered by a train transformer. It cuts foam of all sorts like a knife through butter, with a clean cut. Great to use to cut padding, or foam supports, or even glue blueprints on the cheap, polystyrene sheets, and make parts out of it. The only downside to building this,(yes, you must work to achieve diamonds) is getting a train transformer. If you are lucky, you can find one at a local hardware or junk yard. Besides that, where the heck are you going to find a train transformer?
Finally, there is the Craft ROBO. It is a small machine, simaller to a cricut. You plug it into your computer, you upload papercraft files or origami files, and get this, you can get it to actually, cut and preferate the paper! Compared to the labor you save, this machine is worth the total $250 dollars.
~NEW~
Don't you want a stencil to make designs on your armor? To those owning a cricut, I have good news! There is a new software that you use on PC/MAC that allows you to create new designs from scratch. To date, i'm not really sure if you can import blueprints, but if you know, tell me and ill add it here. The Software can be downloaded with the exclusive cricut cartridge you can save designs on.
I do NOT own any of these objects/machines, but after extensive research, I found out all i know. Also, below each article is a link to a video with it. (Why is Bre Pettis in two of them?)
