Good news, but at 8 weeks, that's only 2-3 design cycles to test what even makes the most sense!

Will keep plugging away though!!!

Mark,

It's pricey everywhere.  Best Cast happens to be local, on the other side of Paramus, so that's an advantage.  But I've been looking at FineLine Prototyping as well.  They definitely are options for future items, but the White Tower project will have to get resolved through Shapeways.  Eventually they will yield to the pressure of allowing the customer the choice of build orientation because more and more customers are complaining about it (they actually told me this).  So it's just a matter of time.  The Perfactory option is still the better one if the budget can support it.  The Shapeways option is better suited to rendering proofs for verification before having the actual model rendered via Perfactory or a similar method - although the Shapeways brass rendering will be very useful for engine frames on future projects.

Glad to hear work is booming.  Best to Tess and the girls.

Thanks Bryan. We must catch up again one day.
