GW model >>>>>>>>>>>> quality of an even more expensive figure print.

They are really quite awful by wargamming standards - I can't see there being much of a market in the community to make it worthwhile to boot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561467.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561467.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this?
Also they dont have to come painted :'o

Its worth considering , its cheap , its customizable ( imagine ordering your FW minis , already assembled , and posed to your choice )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561476.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this?
Should bring in a rather cool age of model design and wargaming, though at the same time, kind of ruin the whole painting and modelling aspect of the game if it becomes widespread enough ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561566.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this?

I own two of these. The reason they look like 'that' is because they use a lot of post processing on the picture to smooth and enhance it.

The quality of figure prints is beyond poor by wargaming standards, period, especially given their size. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561609.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1561710.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this?
Since GW wouldn't outsource anything like this they would have to heavily invest in 3d printers whilst they have plastic and resin moulding i wouldnt see this happening.

A collectors line could be good but they would need exposure to markets outside their traditional sphere to push a range like this.

The high end stuff is used in medical prototyping and is actually very good - it is just orders of magnitude more expensive than the commercial 3D printers of the sort that will have been used for the models above

I've played with fairly complex devices that were printed out "built" that had moving parts, interlocking mechanisms etc. Also seen some surgical guides which were indistinguishable from their moulded counterparts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562306.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this?

Yeah, they need to print out a new right knee for me. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562312.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562601.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562601.page GMT Re:FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this? GW software to create a character in the pose / armor / weapons you want, and then send it off to the GW factory for manufacture...

damn sexy looking future it is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562638.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294115/1562638.page GMT FigurePrints , will GW or FW ever consider this? IMO. Cute Novelty. Not very effective....
