Multiple identity account Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hey,Seems like they have a new material on offer. It's trial and it's WOOD!!! So maybe 3D printing building kits and scenery items then? http://i.materialise.com/materials/woodCheers!JBM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler Fan Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 +Shapeways have another injection of Capital to expand among other things the range of materials available.. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbelup Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The minimum detail size is pretty coarse (1.5 mm) compared to the materials more commonly used for railway models. PS. This new material is from I.Materialise not Shapeways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multiple identity account Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 + Shapeways have another injection of Capital to expand among other things the range of materials available.. Noel What does Shapeways have to do with this? The minimum detail size is pretty coarse (1.5 mm) compared to the materials more commonly used for railway models. Exactly why I feel this material will be perfect for mainly scenic items. Buildings, trees etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbelup Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 We need a guinea pig to try it out and report back. Any volunteers? It could work for something like bridge abutments or trestle bents. I priced a couple of my models and it seems to be about twice the price compared to Polyamide or Prime Gray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
