NSCAD University has recently acquired the ZCorp 310 printer that sits in a new Plastics Lab, and will be shared by all departments. For the Ceramics Department, a particular interest is integrating rapid prototyping into our ceramic ‘Process [...]

The resolution looks pretty good, and given that they are advertising the cost of consumables (paper, cutting blades) at 40 times less expensive than other 3d printers, this could [...]
I ran across a post this morning at MAKE Magazine (which is a great mag, by the way) that explains different 3-d printers that are currently available, including both commercial and open source projects.
In the last few years Rapid Prototyping(RP) has become more automated and much cheaper. Machines suitable for offices and academic environments have [...]
Here’s a short tutorial I just ran across. It talks about the in’s and out’s of Zbrush (which I know nothing about) and the process of sending computer files out to be prototyped.
The cool thing is that it talks about the capabilities of various prototyping machines, including the Objet, 3D object printer.
