 Don't ask me why. It's a sudden idea I had.
 I wondered if the white strong and flexible material powder existed in a "glow in the dark" version.
See what I mean?

I've been considering making light fixtures using shapeways, which i then would put LEDs or other bulbs in after receiving them. This idea would be cooler though, and a more practical use of Shapeways that anyone could make without having to add electronics into it later.
I think people have asked before as well about printed models using more than 1 material. How cool would it be to print a sculpture in black with glow in the dark features (eyes, etc). I really hope all that can be possible in the future.

Perhaps Shapeways could do a small scale test using their powder mixed with phosphorous additive.
If they would like to do that, I can direct them to a supplier of those materials. I used these additives in another application, and they worked fine there. They are available in a greenish variant, and a blueish variant.

If you want long lasting, riskreactor.com glows for 100 hours but is $19 an oz. Economical is teachersource.com 5.50 an oz.

Luminophore is used in combination with a lacquer. The lacquer that you use should be appropriate for the type of material you wish to paint: for metal, wood, plastic and the like.
