I have said I am not interested in printed or printing files for the models. I would only really want to back cast miniatures

ugh, I'd rather see them in metal or injection molding. I love 3d printing for some things but 15mm figures is not one of them.

I believe 3D printing for the large models will be expensive.

It seems from Facebook they are pondering using 3D printing to manufacture the products and running a kickstarter. It does seem we are still no way near seeing a 2nd edition yet which is disappointing but on the other hand I don't have any hobby space and probably won't till next year.

I have to agree, I want plastic or metal figures.

The 3D printing samples they showed a year or so ago of Germans, were not exciting.

3D printing is not really good for volume production. It is slow and expensive.
This makes it better suited to producing "master models" to use for making the molds needed for mass production --Or possibly "one off" specialty items.

3d printing might be viable for something big like the bodies of the landships, MKIV, and MKV tanks because you can have most of it hollow with internal structural reinforcement and you theoretically wont need to make that many, but for just about everything else it likely wouldnt be worth the loss of quality. the few 3d printing options that are of high enough quality that i am aware of are either too slow or expensive for mass production.

I am a big fan of cast figures, probably dates to back when I started collecting figures in the 70's. I've had plastic figures also, got my first Airfix 20mm figs for usage in Napoleonic and ACW. When I got my first resin figures back in the early 2000's, I was not impressed about how fragile that material is.
I can understand running a business and would like to have AQMF survive into the future.
So personally, I favor cast figures, metal or plastic. I do not support any resin crapola.
