Finally we pack the new produced ABS filament into 0.45kg/1lb and 0.9kg/2lb. We modify the diameter from 3mm to 2.9mm for smoothly extruding by Ultimaker. We had test the ABS filament by the Ulitmaker and CupCNC(Makerbot). Above photos show the good printing quality which printing out by Ultimaker.

We will pack it into 0.45kg(~1lb) and 0.9kg(~2lb)  to get the better shipping rate and save postage for customers.

We just give it a try to experience its amazing performance. 
Followings images show the mesh quality of 3D scanning from RecconstructMe. 
Here we also do some post-processing for the constructed meshes. First we apply smooth-filter  by MeshLab and then apply some mesh modifications by Sculptris .
Followings images show mesh quality of after modifications.
With the ReconstructMe and XBOX-Kinect, it gives us a way  to realize affordable 3D scan application for everyone. We will try to develop the mechanism for it for make 3D scanning to be more efficiency and  reliable.

The scaling factor is 1.2.  We can only design once by CAD, and then make it in different scale without more effort. Digital Fabrication gives us the freedom to make things in different scales with one design.

It was designed to fit with our ABS filament coils, and  made by the 5mm PP corrugated board. it is easy to make it by hand and the material is very cheap to make several ones. You can also redesign it or use different material (such as Medium Density Fiberboard ) to fit your demands.

As a user of 3D printer, the colored ABS Filament coils always must be taken into consideration for daily printing. 3D printing by using various open source 3D printers is new at Taiwan, and no local supply available. It costs a lot to get many colored coils from overseas. We all know Taiwan is well known as a main provider of plastic material in the worldwide. Therefor, we try to product most affordable colored ABS filament coils for everyone using 3D printer worldwide.
At this moment, we have made 3mm ABS filament coils in 7 color options with most cost-saving packing. We start to sale it on ebay, and then worldwide users can get them with most affordable price.

Here is the blog about X-Shaping.Fab, we will show/share what we do for the "Personal Fabrication". 
In the beginning, the 3D printing is the most interesting for us!
We will also pay attention to 3D design, 3D scanning, and CNC tools.
Let's enjoy the fun of shaping "X".
