The passenger car looks good, but the close up of the truck has the same pitted surface and loss of detail I have observed in other 3D printing systems. I am not sure these are suitable for fine scale models. Certainly not a product I would sell.

Still seems that Perfactory's type of 3D printing shows the most promise so far. It is probably only a matter of time before pricing comes down. Next will be people's ability to create the necessary CAD/Solidworks files.
