FUD = Frosted Ultra Detail - that is a special name for that resin that Shapeways used for its 3D-printed parts. And this resin is a hard and very brittle material.
I think, that you will not be printed by Shapeways? And so you will recive also an other matarial for your parts? How can you work with this?
My interest is to receive small and free-standing super detailing parts for cars and steam engines, which are no longer available as brass parts. And so these 3D-printed parts should not break and sliver at the first touch and they should be workable with normal metal tools, like drilling, filing, grinding.
Please write about your experiences in handling and processing with your 3D-printed parts. Thanks.

We printed from shapeways. The pieces are quite strong for printed, I agree it's not brass.

The chassis plus the hood
