Just received my first order of 3D printed gold plated brass from Shapeways! I love the quality and resolution.

The models are first printed in wax and the wax is replaced with brass using the lost wax process; it is then polished, nickel plated and gold plated.

An old one from May, 2011...

Here's my 3D printed hand-crank fan, printed by Shapeways.com. Successful SLS (selective laser sintered) test print of a 3D model with all pieces printed in position and no post assembly. The double sets of gears work very smoothly, although the fan itself is expensive and woefully inefficient.

View the movie on YouTube to see the fan in "action."
