Re: Inside Shapeways

That respirator is pretty serious. Back when I was rebagging nylon powder from them, I just used N95 dust masks. That powder got EVERYWHERE.

I'm assuming the powder they send you is the stuff he was breaking away in the video?

Re: Inside Shapeways

Yup, same stuff. If it was far from a part they reuse it, if it was near a part they sent it to me. I don't think they show the sorting process in that video.
