Some weeks ago I visited a company that has the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.envisiontec.de\/fileadmin\/pdf\/MachSheet_Aureus.pdf\">Envisiontec<br \/>\nAureus<\/a>. The materials used are RCP30 (Terracotta) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.envisiontec.de\/index.php?id=78&amp;L=%2523LANGID%2520%2520target%253D\">WIC100<\/a> (Green =<br \/>\nwax).<\/p>\n<p>The XY resolution is 43 micron and the Z voxel height is 25<br \/>\nmicron. Overall building volume is 60x45x100mm.<\/p>\n<p>So much for the<br \/>\ntech spec&#8217;s&#8230;.. let check out the results&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!-- s9ymdb:1453 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"403\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/DSC_05202.jpg\" style=\"border: 0px none; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\"><\/p>\n<p><!-- s9ymdb:1471 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"403\" width=\"600\" style=\"border: 0px none; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/DSC_05222.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The potential is very high with this machine knowing and seeing what can be done with these details in both plastic and wax.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, the Terracotta material is possible to plate&#8230;. this give a bit a strange difference with regards to looks and feel, but who knows how this can be useful.<\/p>\n<p>They have been printing some of our models to show what is possible.
