In many of the debates I have read here, and elsewhere, regarding 3D printing one of the most common criticisms is the inability of 3D printers to achieve any kind of fine detail. While this is not ready for prime time yet we might have turned the corner, an entire room was sculpted using 3D printing.
A computational architect-designer by the name of Michael Hansmeyer has produced an incredibly detailed and complex room/ alter completely from digital sculpts.
I found this while reading the latest issue of ASCE SmartBrief.
Also a Link (look for the Civil Engineering version)
I won't go in depth on what if any impacts that this has on our hobby, I will leave that to Sandy. Having said that I think that this an interesting read that shows the quality that can be achieved with digital printing.
Seeing as I have been absent for a long while I guess I should post something about the hobby as well. I hate the fact that GW gave the inbred lapdogs a better way to represent the traitor legions than we got in CSM, and I don't think that tau are all that bad. But I do run a lot of cover denying weapons, so your experiences may differ.

So maybe not the best picture to express my all consuming hatred of the various flavors of Smurfs, but what can I say I am lazy and this picture was easy to find. |
