"The Mini Metal Maker brings precious metal clay (PMC) to the field of 3D printing. This highly developed product for the jewelry industry is exceptional in its ability to let sculptors create detailed forms by hand and then fire them to produce pure metal objects. The Mini Metal Maker takes this process one step further by allowing makers to produce their own pure metal objects based on digital 3D cad files."

"The ShapeJS language provides a powerful system for generating 3D printable objects via a simple Javascript program. ShapeJSs work on a voxel representation. A voxel is similar to a 2D pixel but it represents a volume element in 3 dimensional space. A script provides mechanisms to easily set the desired voxels using a series of data sources and transformations."
