Check out this amazing use of 3D printing!  <\/p>\n

While creating a line of stainless steel water bottles for scuba divers, TankH20<\/a> used Shapeways 3D printing technology to perfect their product. 
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Designed to look like scuba air tanks, the TankH20’s top was crucial to
\nthe product’s look and feel.  Before going into production, TankH20
\nworked with Shapeways to print a full-size prototype of the top for
\ntesting.  <\/p>\n

The 3D printed top was perfect and gave them the
\nconfidence to go into production!  Today, TankH20 is being sold online
\nand in over 20 stores around the USA.  Check out their website!  <\/a> <\/p>\n
