PanaShape's Differences

There are multiple "upload and 3D print" sites available today, but Brian Bauman of PanaShape wants you to know their service is slightly different.

Yes, PanaShape permits upload of STL 3D model files - and the service creates animated 3D renderings as well as live-quoting your price to produce the model. it isĀ able to 3D print in variations of two materials, Somos Next and PA12. The Caracalla scan we uploaded seen above (90 x 100 x 163 mm) evidently will cost USD $1200 to print in Somos Next at standard resolution.
