An online print service for stainless steel 3d models has launched

    3d printing stainless steel 3d models
    Shapeways has launched a new online stainless steel 3d printing service for any of your 3d models. Prior to this event, the choice of materials for 3d printing was small, mainly a variety of polymers. But now, Shapeways has become the first company in the world to offer an online stainless steel 3d printing service .

    The cost of such printing is $ 10 per 1 cm3 of material. The amount of material is taken that is specifically spent on printing the model. For example, the figure that is shown in the picture costs less than $ 20 with its size 4x4x4.5 cm.

    Shipping is also included in the price. Delivery is worldwide.
    There are some limitations due to the material.which can be printed. The minimum thickness of any part of the 3d model should not be less than 2 mm. The 3d model is printed with 0.1 mm detail (although, as for me, this is an advantage). The maximum size of a real model that comes out from under the printer will not exceed 100x45x25 cm.

    There are also restrictions on the 3d model . But everything is simple there. The model should not have edges common for more than two polygons. The model must be solid (closed) and with the correct normals (looking outward of the model).
