i am curious to know if what we do on screen with Daz3d could be "printed" in those new 3D printer!

could be the end of "Barbie" :-)

    not yet allowed in EULA but some of us wish we could or at least pay Daz to do it

    The home printers are very rough. The imperfections that need to be smoothed off are larger than the detail most people would like to achieve.

    On the other, hand the services such as Shapeways can produce a very nice product. And it would only cost about 100 times as much as that barbie doll would.

    The term used in most of these devices is rapid PROTOTYPING. Rapid MANUFACTURING is a long (analogous to DAZ "soon") way off.

    Sorry, but I do find this sort of comment rather misleading and I wonder about the motivation. You are absolutely right about professional print services like Shapeways being more expensive and higher resolution compared to home printing (and about the DAZ definition of soon).
    But my 3D prints are not 'very rough'. Indeed, now that my printers are 'dialled in' (which admittedly takes some time to achieve) I would say that most of my high detail prints (0.1 mm resolution) are very smooth. And if I want a glossy smooth surface I can post-process ABS with 30 seconds in an acetone vapour chamber (also home-made) for a beautifully shiny finish - something which even Shapeways doesn't currently offer. Most of my lack of detail comes from the low-resolution 3D scanning process I use to create models.
    The attached picture is of a print with no post-processing at all. It has a naturally glossy finish.
    As soon as DAZ make their 3D printing license available I will be able to demonstrate what level of quality a cheap home printer is really capable of.

    mayby I`m wrong (because english is not my native language)... but as I understand the EULA - 3D printing is allowed...
    EULA E.2.
    ...The creation of three-dimensional physical images (3D-print, molded copy, CNC-routed copy, and the like) of Content or any three-dimensional art derived from the Content is permitted only by User’s purchase from DAZ, via the User’s online DAZ store account, of permission to deliver User’s derived works (art), including necessary Content, to an entity that creates three-dimensional images in a physical medium.

These limitations govern (i) personal and/or commercial use of the three-dimensional physical or printed images; and (ii) the quantity of three dimensional physical or printed images allowed.
