In my particular case, they come from Shapeways 
(http://www.shapeways.com/), and whilst the material is about 1 mm 
thick, it tends to warp. But it's the choice of material, and whilst 
they have offered some sort of deal because of my disappointment with 
their product, I haven't bothered (yet) to take them up on it. This 
being a capitalist society, they will have plenty of competition soon 
enough, so I'd like to keep them on their toes.
