Wow, if I had any talent with 3d modeling at all I could make some really cool gifts for people. |

I've used the service several times, and they are good people. The stainless steel prints are pretty cool, and they just implemented some full-color 3d printing technology. |

how do they do the stainless steel "prints"? do they make a cast first? |

I'm guessing either selective metal sintering (SLS) or direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). |

It's actually printed in steel powder with a binder, then sintered in the sintering oven and infused with bronze. |

I would have guess it was science. |

It's phosphor bronze, which is an alloy of copper, tin, phosphorous, and science. |

The cuff links are really nice. I have a pair that are like that, the sort of curved stud, and they just feel more substantial and can't break like the peg with the bit that turns once you've gone through the cuff. |

Death Calls The Tune (lab binaer) from lab binaer on Vimeo. The entertainmant industry penetrates us day in and out with news from all around the world. Over the years we acclimatised to this information overload and the creators have to use more and more extreme messages to attract our attention. But do we really have to know all of this? Our work deals with the existing mass of death announcements and the resulting stimulus satiation. We want to point up the hebetude caused by this. |

It was unclear from the site: Can you upload your own 3D models, or can you only customize their existing ones? |

Clearly says you can upload, I quickly clicked to see what formats they wanted but they require an account creation... couldn't be bothered. Yet. |

http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/supported-applications Shapeways accepts designs in STL, X3D or Collada. ...and then they list a bunch of CAD programs that support one or more of those formats (inc 3dsMax, Autocad 8, Blender and Lightwave), along with a couple of converters. |

Can't customize, but yes. You think of something, describe it in a common language, and then it becomes a physical reality. FUTURED!!! |
