<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2481993, member: 1892&quot;]It isn&#039;t so much their resolution as the materials they&#039;re able to print with - nothing which is remotely up to being a die or resembling a coin. You can &quot;print&quot; powdered stainless steel or titanium at a resolution of about 250 microns - debatable whether that&#039;s sufficient to duplicate die features - and the resulting piece won&#039;t have nearly the structural integrity to strike coins. You can &quot;print&quot; ceramic or wax with nowhere near the resolution or heat resistance necessary even to cast coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure some combination of materials development and heat treatment will change that in the future, but for the moment it&#039;s not a worry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
