Alternatives to Silver with Antique Finish

#1

Hello i.Materialise Forums,
I have created models in Silver with Antique finish and they are EXCEPTIONAL .
See the model below just received from i.Materialise.
The darker finish and high visibility of the debossed (recessed) areas are EXACTLY as desired.
The only issue is the cost for a model can be quite high.
Are there any i.Materialise metal materials and finishes that come close to Silver with Antique finish or at least provide an alternative?
Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Thanks a lot for sharing the picture of the model. The printed and finished 3D output is quite stunning!
Regarding similar materials we unfortunately can’t advise the one that would be very close in appearance.
However to benefit in terms of pricing we can only advise to lower the thickness of the model down to 0,8mm everywhere. Thus, less material would be needed to produce the part and it will become more cost-efficient.

Hi Ivan, thanks for the response!

I didn’t think there were any alternatives to Silver Antique which provides a unique look but wanted to confirm.
