Thanks for the tips on Stratasys and 3DSystems. We're looking at the Objet 260V from Stratasys and the Projet 3500HD from 3DSystems.

In the event upper management nixes the idea of investing in a Stratasys or 3DSystems printer like those listed above, is there a recommended hobby/prosumer level printer that is known for its reliability, or at least ease of maintenance?
