Its always worrying to back a campaign with unknowns. So we wanted to remove that risk for you, that is why we have already built all 28 of the models in the Doppler Clan and will have completed the Euler Clan before the end of the campaign. All of the perks 3d printed by Shapeways are already complete and ready.  You can see each of the Doppler clan models by following this link to our gallery, and we will be posting regular updates and images on The Euler Clan models over the following weeks.

3D printing is also a very challenging and sometimes frustrating technology. 

We understand and have overcome the difficulties encountered in every printing process from home FDM or SLS machines to the latest and most high end printing machines used by services such as Shapeways. Most importantly, we have the know-how to build impressive game figures to take advantage of these new processes. For further independent validation on our ability to deliver, Gartner, the world's leading IT research and advisory company, recommended us as one of the top five coolest companies in 3D printing in their industry report, and MakerBot approached us as one of 8 companies to become part of their MakerBot Ready Apps program when it was launched at the end of last year.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't contribute no problem. We are trying to build a community of open freely distributed models and ideas. You can already download the board pieces as they are totally free to the community. If we succeed we will be able to deliver more free models into the community. 

Regardless of if you back the project or not, if we are successful we will release a basic set of models to build the game for anyone to freely download, print and play. Backers will get the added benefit of up to 56 beautiful robot models to build a fantastic army.

And our stretch goals have more free stuff too. So help us tell the world!

Stretch Goals

Perks

Clan perks are delivered as electronic files for people who own or have access to 3d printers. For those who don't have access to a 3d printer, or prefer high grade prints, we offer many perks using the professional 3d printing service  Shapeways

All physical perks are already complete and will be sent for 3d printing immediately the campaign ends.

Polished Gold Plated on Brass

Precious Plated Metals are cast in Shapeways’ Brass before going through extensive hand polishing to create a smooth surface texture. After being cast, we underplate the brass with palladium to provide strength and durability. Your products are then plated with .5 microns of the precious metal of choice. The outcome is a beautiful shiny luster with a high level of detail and smooth surface finish.

Shapeways' Brass consists of 15% zinc, 5% tin, and 80% copper. The palladium and precious metal electroplatings are about .5 micron each, but this can vary based on geometry.

Sterling Silver

Polished silver is lightly hand polished to achieve a smooth finish but still can have some surface texture.

3D Printed Sterling Silver products are made using a three-step process. The products are created with a lost-wax casting process using a high-resolution 3D wax printer. The 3D printed wax model is put in a container and liquid plaster is poured around it to create a mold. After the plaster sets, the wax is melted out and molten silver is poured into the plaster mold. The plaster is then pulled away to reveal the silver and the finished product is polished for a smooth surface.

Polishing gives this material a beautiful finish, but can have an impact on fine details. During the polishing step, fine or sharp-edged details may be polished down.

Strong flexible plastic

To 3D print in this material, Shapeways start with a bed of Nylon powder and sinter the powder with a laser layer by layer, solidifying the powder as they go. Some visible print lines may occur, but a final polish stage usually eliminates most of this.
