finished that was necessary because I was using some of the cheaper 3D printing
processes. So to get the exhibition quality I had to use hand work but really
then the whole model falls down if the idea is the designer sets up the template
then manufactures straight from the computer. If you then take them back and
do a whole lot of hand work on them the whole model falls down. So that had to
be avoided. Then with the raised profile of the project and the backing that that
brought it was possible to use some of the more exotic processes and so went
into SLS® Nylon and you can see in the close-up there the texture that is
coming through from the rapid prototyping. Which in lighting is a very
beautiful finish but not quite so applicable when you see it in an object like a
chair. That is a close-up of Entropia again you can see the striations the lines
from the process. And that is where I am at the moment.
