Right now most of these big atoms we can synthesize decay into other smaller atoms so quickly as to make them little more than novelties for the foreseeable future. This is due to their atomic structure. There is a hypothetical “island of stability” we haven’t reached yet where many believe even larger atoms will be stable and can persist long enough to be useful.

Congratulations on the magnificent launch! I'm very excited about the color printing tech and the new interface.

Has there been any discussion of a subscription model for digital downloads? $10/month for 3 STL files or something along those lines?

Some friends voiced surprise about the hand-painted figure's cost, but it seemed in line with paying artists for high-quality work. Could you provide any details about the amount of time and effort required for the $150 figures? Are all of the figures painted in the US?

Given the time and attention you’ve given the topic, what advice do you have for guiding a son through the early years of becoming a man? My son is 13 and I’m struck by the very different demands on me as a father and my own struggles to adapt.

Thanks for doing the AMA.

Educated guess... no. The detail is determined by the printer. From what they've shared, they are using the most current generation of Mimaki printers at the peak of their performance already.

It's sort of an inkjet printer putting drops of resin and curing them with light immediately. The methods and materials are under constant development, but this is about as good as it gets right now.

My understanding is that Stratasys Mimaki printer they are using deposits different micro droplets of resin using an inkjet like tech. This is immediately cured by UV. The color is generated during the print, not applied after.

They are offering hand-painted as well.
