I have access a 3d proto printer that prints ABS strength parts up to .007in resolution.

Anyone interested?

I'm totally interested!  What kind of file format(s) would you accept?  I'm interested in having some lightwave models printed (I'm a sci-fi geek).

[/quote].STL files. The cost of materials is $250 per cubic inch.  You can do sparse fill and it'll go further.
The going rate is $35 per hour of build time :p  But we can work something out. Send me a file and let's see :)

I think I'm ready as well. My slop is not yet excessive, but is increasing.

I have a ScanStation 2 http://www.leica-geosystems.com/hds/en/lgs_62189.htm and can get a very accurate 3D scan of the Atom.  Would that make a model possible with your 3D printer?  Would I have to model the surfaces and the piping or can your software build the surfaces from "globbing" points?

[/quote]WOW!  Nice tool!  Sure you can scan it in and then clean stuff up later.
I don't have that much CAD stills but if you have a relatively clean scan I'm sure we can do it!
The build envelope is 8x8x12inches
