The level of detail on this ornament is amazing! I bet it will look fantastic once attached to a string of lights. I was curious if your company has tried to print this in metal yet, or if they were planning to at any point. I'm pretty unfamiliar with 3D metal printing, but would love to see what this would look like!

Thank you very much! We are actually in the process of having it printed at our facility. We are looking to build it out to titanium (ti64) or aluminum (alsi10mg). We will be documenting the manufacturing process, and also providing photos of the completed build! We are even thinking of giving them away at our company Holiday gathering as prizes! :) Thanks again for the feedback!
