    Hi,

    I printed a handful of sample models to compare our material options. I think they came out rather cute :)

    Hey great.. good examples as well. I just placed an order though and saw a new option: White strong and flexible?

    What sort of stuff is that? And how strong? Is it "safe to give to a kid as a toy strong" or... "can fall off your tv without breaking a leg strong"... the latter happened to a prototype of mine ;)

    Hi,

    it is Nylon made using the SLS technique. It is quite strong. If the model is not too heavy you can drop from some height.

    Hope this helps,
    Peter
