Wow. Just wow.

The level of detail is amazing. That makes me really think of re-printing an item. Granted the print I have is four years old (talk about procrastination...), but my company hasn´t made any attempts at getting new machinery :rolleyes So I guess it definitely is time for a change of manufacturer

I have tried the regular detail prints and they look good after touching them up with Azbro wax but I'll have to try this new one. Typically on parts featuring text I just have the text laser engraved on a strip and drop the strip into a countersunk hole on the main part because previously 3D printed text has usually been muddy. Of course the laser engraving is potentially out of the question for a curved surface. This new HD sounds interesting so these additional steps I take can be bypassed.

Thanks for pointing this out. Definately something to look into.

well i mean the tech has been around for a while, but i'm just announcing that it's now on shapeways. If you think this is good... google for polyjet HD blue and check those pics out.

shapeways letting you order at a $25 minimum is clutch
