This is a High resolution 3D Printer I have developed at home. The printer quality is amazing.

Here we have a topological model designed by Steven Tippett from Texas. Steve designed this model using topological mesh modeling software and contacted me via my website http://www.printo3d.com to 3D print this model for him.

I HAVE full permission from Steven to share his model for the world to see!

Steven’s work can be seen here:

The Objet24 Personal 3D Printer is the first office system to print true-to-life models — featuring strong materials, small moving parts, thin walls and smooth, paintable surfaces.
Print exactly what you design – ideal for product and industrial designers and engineers looking to produce highly accurate models for visual aids, fit and assembly testing and functional applications. Models produced by Objet24 can be painted, drilled, machined, uses as a mold or used for vacuum forming.

In this segment we hit the streets to ask average folks: What is Rapid Prototyping?
