shapeways uses objet 3D printers Speaking of Objet 3D printers , there’s a new rapid-prototyping option available this fall from the company enabling you to upload a 3D designs for rapid-prototyping, Shapeways . It’s smooth, it’s black and just screaming your name.

The black photopolymer material is used with their Objet Eden 500 machine and gives you a very fine, detailed piece. They’re running a special on the material till October 19th. (That’s this Sunday.) .97 cents/cm3, nearly 70% off the regular price. What a deal.

Wondering what it looks like. Take a look at the pics after the break.

That piece looks one of those nifty swoopy things you make Charles. I find the shape pretty fascinating, the black material makes it really cool.

Nice to see your picture instead of the default avatar.
