I've never worked with 3D printers, but have seen what they can do and their shortcomings, so I'm guessing that the surface pattern and details as produced by that machine would leave a lot to be desired. How would you go about creating that surface and detail with a printer?
It depends on the printer, but you can achieve very smooth surfaces and also texture surfaces. In the case of this battery, looking at the original, this star texture seems to be slightly raised. I can easily build that into the 3D model itself so it actually prints the texture. If that's what you're talking about.
