Summary: <br> We got an interesting episode today. We've got a guest who’s been on before, <a href="https://3dstartpoint.com/global-3d-printing-topography-with-jason-ray-of-sightline-maps/">Jason Ray</a>. It was December 2016 for something called <a href="https://sightlinemaps.com/">Sightline Maps</a>, which we loved the project because we think it’s really cool, topographically three-dimensionally mapping for government use, for school uses. The idea was that you would topographically print them on 3D printers so schools would learn what the stuff look like. He’s come back to use because he’s working on a new venture. It’s called <a href="https://www.paperlessparts.com">Paperless Parts</a>. It is a new kind of a service for getting quotes and finding a 3D print manufacturer to work with for making 3D print manufactured products. At the same time, sometimes it’s getting your first part. Getting that, “Is this manufacture-able in 3D printing and what’s the quality of it?” We call them design sign-off samples. That’s a really critical important part in our design process with our clients. I think it is for a lot of people. It’s one thing to print it on your own printer, but at the end of the day, you need to go ahead and make it in the final material, in the final version that you’re going to do. That design sign-off sample is important to get quoted and help establish whether or not a 3D print manufacturer is a good quality 3D print manufacturer.<br> To send us a message, go to <a href="http://www.3dstartpoint.com/">3dstartpoint.com</a> or shoot us a message at info@3dstartpoint.com or on our <a href="http://facebook.com/hazzdesign">facebook </a>or <a href="http://twitter.com/hazzdesign">twitter</a>!
