Right now I resin cast reproduction accessories for transformers and gi joes. I want to know if it would be cheaper to print these and if somebody could make the files? Let me know if you can help and how much? ]]> ptrckcrw2 2012-03-03T02:24:05-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=44817&th=8455#msg_44817
Depending on the size and quantity, printing could be a better option, but it really depends on how many you're making and the size. I'd only consider it if you're talking small stuff. Is the stuff you're working on licensed, or more just for legion folks? I've been using 3D printing to make the master, and then doing silicon molds and presssure castings because of the cost.

It seems to be the easiest way to produce products but unfortunately it's not the cheapest way and there are still a lot of printing lines that need to be cleaned by you or customer.

I have a product line for own company, but I'm considering to cancel these product due to problems mentioned above and inconsistency by shapeways.
