What is meant by growing a model?

Hi,

I've been checking many different forums and sometimes I read that a model was grown? Can anyone explain what this means? I'm thinking that it has something to do with a cad file and cnc machine or digital printer but I am not sure.

Hi,

Yep they are "grown" with a 3D printer -

I work for a 3D printer and we will beat any valid quote from Printapart. Plus we can go a lot larger then what they are advertizing. They are also using an old Invision Si. That's older tech. We have the newer Projet 3000 which has a Z resolution of .00125" and should be upgrading to the XHD in a few month (Z-Resolution of .0006")
We've done work for me (JT-Graphics), McFarlane Toys, Gizmotron Models, Paragrafix, Bad-Azz Models, Timeslip Creations, and a few others.

I can help you with all your questions. Feel free to contact me.
