I'd think that if it was, ShapeWays would show a whole bunch of incredible examples. There's only one example, the "Sad Man" figure, that is fully and realistically colored, but I'm really not clear on whether it was painted or came out of the printer like that. This is the #1 problem with printing scanned objects - they generally look like blobs unless you take a lot of time to paint them.

I just took this photo below of my Eyes Die which has 16mm sides - the die was printed in the old Colour Sandstone which used a synthetic 'wax' type sealant (hence the sugar cube type look) - the new FCS uses CA as a sealant and the colours from images on the forums are more vibrant and there looks to be less of a sugar cube look.

As long as you can get a good texture in your model, the print will look good. IMO, texturing is the hard part.]]> denali3ddesign 2012-08-11T15:32:16-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52493&th=10494#msg_52493 JuliaDee 2012-08-11T16:31:41-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52494&th=10494#msg_52494
Here is a 5 cm long model of a house. It has received a coat of a clear varnish, but otherwise is untreated.
