Hi all, Attending a Xmas function at work (HP) in Auckland and saw some sample prints from one of our 3D colour printers - HP Jet Fusion 580. I was particularly taken by this one shown. Close up of course and you can see it's not yet 'model' quality as we know it, but it's certainly getting there. But the subject matter is what caught my attention, a neat little 'diorama' almost. It's actual size is about 3 x 3" square and maybe 2" - 3" high. All printed in one process. Some other samples include items that you would swear were made of rubber, like a soft springy plastic. Very exciting to think what's on the horizon and where it will be a just a very short time.       Edited by user 06 December 2019 04:48:52(UTC)

Wow, that certainly is nice. But the bit that impresses me most is it seems to have made the underground bit without needing to have support pillars for the road surface while printing - or is it printed as multiple parts that are then assembled? But knowing HP the material will be 'proprietary' and only available from them at high price if their other print technologies are anything to go by.
