What resolution can be achieved in the printed models?
Models made from starch are printed with 0.2mm (0.007″) thick layers while models made from plaster are printed with 0.1mm (0.004″) layers. Plaster models therefore provide better resolution with sharper detail. However, very small details – on the order of size of the print layers or smaller – will not be represented in the final model. Visit the gallery to get an idea of what type of parts and detail can be achieved with the process. Our materials page shows a good example of the difference in resolution that can be achieved when using either starch or plaster.
