Am I correct in presuming that all of these mills, casters, layer-down-layer doodads, et al, are limited specifically to the planes of the mesh and cannot utilize data from bump maps or other non-mesh features? That'll seriously ramp up the detail requirements of the modeling I want to do (and render the one model I've finished already obsolete--ah the price of quality). In short, would a Poser figure like the Dork turn out to look like Kryten if "3d printed" at a height of about 25mm to 30mm? Happen to have a reference on the resolution limit of unaided human vision? 0.1mm? I think I need to get my head around how many facets will be necessary to avoid a "facety" look at whatever final scale I intend the objects to be.
