Does any one have direct experience with Form1 and building parts for robots? I wonder how their material holds up as compared to PLA and ABS. I'm waiting for a call back from the company for more info.
After reading this thread I requested a test part from the Form 1 and they emailed me within an hour. You might get a faster response through that avenue, and you get the convenience of having time to think up all the questions you may have. Turn around on test parts is delayed a bit but they said it should be to me within a month. I'm going to wait to get my hands on that test piece, but for the price I am pretty excited to offer a stereo lithography alternative to the FDM Stratasys machine that I have in my classroom now.
