Introducing 3D Printed Black Elasto Plastic : I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rubber
It’s squishy, it’s flexible, it stretches, it bounces, it blends, it’s 3D Printed Black Elasto Plastic!!!!!
Black Elasto Plastic is our first fully flexible material! It is still in the experimental stages of development, and we are learning more about the possibilities and restrictions of this material each and every day. Design, order and give us feedback when your model arrives at your doorstep! This material will be on trial until the July 20th, 2012, so get your orders in soon. After the trial, we will review and decide whether to introduce it permanently, whether we need to change any design rules, etc.

3D Printed Black Glazed Ceramics at Shapeways
Making your designs possible in the widest range of the high quality 3D printed materials is one of our main focuses at Shapeways and today we are super excited to offer Black Glazed Ceramics to our range of material options for the next two months.
Black Glazed Ceramics joins White Ceramics as our second food-safe material it suitable for cups, plates, bowls, sake sets, almost anything.
The process used to create Black Glazed Ceramics is the same as White Ceramics with the same design rules, level of detail, wall thickness requirements and size restrictions.
We have printed a few models from the Shapeways community so you can see how the finish looks over a variety of surface geometries.
As with White Ceramics the Black Glazed Ceramic glaze likes flat planes, curves and radiuses rather than hard edges and corners and knife blades.
The max build size is 30x22x17cm (11.8x8.6x6.7 inches). Minimum wall thickness and details remains the same at 3mm and 2mm, respectively. Note, glazing process can add up to 1.5mm of thickness to your item so some finer details may be lost or softened. This is especially true for the nooks and crevices, as well as the bottom portion of cups.
This material will be off by default and mark-up set to zero so if you would like to make it available in your shop you will need to manually update your products.
For trial period will run until Friday the 28th of April and pricing will be calculated at $0.18 per cm2 of surface area.
After the trial period we will review the popularity, pricing and design rules.
