I know that their prices are per volume of used material. So a solid small object will be more expensive than a hollow larger object.

This info (and prices) be found on http://www.shapeways.com/about/material-options where in the tutorials section there is a lot of information how to optimize the object for printing (eg hollowing out to reduce used material volume).

Wow. That’s an amazing site! It’s strange – most of the prices seem pretty reasonable for something custom fabricated, but others are ridiculously expensive. Maybe I haven’t explored enough to see what the differences are.

I can really see using this.
