ScanSource Created 5mm Tall Miniatures on 3D Systems Printers
It's the new thing to do! 3D Printing of miniature figurines, apparently. ScanSource 3D, inspired by a story that 3DPrint did on Zealot Miniatures' 3D printing miniature navy men decided to give it a try themselves on their 3D systems 3D printer. What they came up with was quite amazing!

So person in small business A makes very tiny figures with an inexpensive B9 creator, so business B decides to upstage them by showing their 10x more expensive machine making a similar or slightly better quality part. Business A still made a smaller figure at 3mm, these examples don't get that small.

My eyes are so shot from playing video games for 30 years, anything that's 5mm tall to me looks like a scrap of filament lol... it is impressive tho. I wish they would start using solid resins, If I owned a SLA machine I wouldn't be printing translucent stuff, I'd be printing high detail resin kits to sell.
Personally, the scale of the machines isn't there for me yet, I would be more interested in a machine that can pump out an entire life size head or bigger in one print, then they'd have my attention.. making them cheaper wouldn't hurt either...
