-not really impressed with the level of detail or prestine look. its kinda rough...think i might give 'er a light sanding. The color is a little more yellow that I wanted-guess ill try to give it a coat of paint and see what happens.
Ill post some pictures tomorrow when I'm done tinkering around with it.
Basically every type of RP requires some hand finishing, though I've had some stuff done by stereolithography that really didn't need anything but wiping out some channels and then the paint.
The 3DP stuff from the site you posted is inexpensive but looks like it has a pretty rough finish. For stuff with many tight, compound curves, it's probably worth it to investigate other RP methods.

3D Printing
Anyone every use this company for a 3D Print?
3D Art to Part
Kind of curious of the quality of the print
This will be my 1st 3D print EVER....I'm pretty damn excited...I think I just peed a little.
The model in a box...in a car and on its way to the office.....Should be here in a about an hour!!!
OK - its here - looks.....aight!

What kind of printer are they using?
I dont have a clue
Does your model have lots of layers of plastic, like if it was cut out of a stack of paper.
Though on the site it says there is some post-finishing so maybe it is some sort of powder.

did you just 3D print yourself a stripper?
to weAREtheSTONES: Do you still have the photos of the model? It would be nice to see how it looks like...

Hi, Yes I've used them many times a couple of years ago. They took their website down for awhile, but I guess they are back.
They used to have a ZCorp 310, reasonable rates, and pretty quick turnaround depending on their project flow.
