Does anyone know a quality Rapid Prototype vendor in the US? I need to make figures about 9 inches high...can be done in sections. I am looking for exceptional surface detail requiring minimal to no hand finishing. Output needs to be of production quality for collectible resin type figures.
I've tried out a few so far with poor results.

Thanks!!!!

9 inches high with fine detail will cost a arm and leg. Almost $1000.

All prints require some finishing. In some cases, sealing will obscure any fine print lines.

What are you looking to do?

Also, what about something smaller, say 56mm or 80mm, common pewter model sizes?

I think Gentle Giant Studios can also be hired to do printing for you.

They have experience with ZBrush, and do a fair bit of work with multiple parts.
