    Few months back our firm was commissioned to model a 3d model of a sunshine lotion bottle which went to some sort of design competition. Anyway, the bottle ended up as 3D print. Dunno much about the hardware/software used to build the actual sculpture. The thing was that the mesh of the virtual model had to be subdivided up to tens of millions of polygons to enable the printer to build a smooth surface. Although, when zoomed to a very close distance, you could actually see the polygons in the sculpture. Wonder why they didn't accept CAD or NURBS...
