3D printed

Adjusted for 3d printing

2013-04-26T19:41:00.002-07:00

In my previous post i was still preparing and adjusting an old 3d scene for 3d print.
It's done and it's ready now to be uploaded to my shapeway online shop let's hope its price will be affordable.

The printed version won't look the same as in these renders, it will depend on the material chosen.

Its dimensions are:
121x75x67 cm
47x29x26 inch

As you can see here the model is hollowed this helps a lot to reduce the price of printing since
the printer will be using less materials,the wall thickness should be respected carefully depending on the
material that will be used,it is very important so the model won't break in the process or printing and also in the process of finishing.
I made the wall thickness here about 3,4 mm, in some case it's possible to reduce the wall thickness untill
0,7 mm and i think there's no way it can go below that...

Next step is converting it into an STL file type and uploading it to shapeways.

Preparing a model for 3d print

This is a 3d artwork that I did in 2011,took me pretty much time to render the hair,
It's meant to be printed in 2d...

Now I'm thinking about printing it in 3d,of course it won't have the same look as in the rendered one,lot of
details will disappear ,for that i will be changing the main shape of the model so it will look like this:

I'll post a picture of the final model that will be ready for 3d printing once i'm done preparing it.

Shapeways is considered the biggest company that offers online 3d printing services,It's also possible to have
a free online shop where you can upload designs and customers can make orders so they can be 3d printed.
It's fun!!

Ok here we go...this is my first 3d printed design

2013-04-13T20:36:00.001-07:00

After two months of reading about 3d printing and understanding how it works i got in my hand my first ever creation i created using a computer,it's really magic to be touching in reall an idea you had in mind.I'm a big fan of Michael jackson so first thing i was thinking about is to model one of his moves and bring it to the world of physics ,to real life.
It's made of brass/gold plated polished,the abbreviation was made upon a request for the persone who got it as a birthday present.
I couldn't set up my mind first about what to create or what to model,i was jumping from decoration items to jewelries to figurines to fashion toward many directions.
I will post some thoughts and ideas about designs i need to print but they still need a lot of adjustments because of the 3d printers constraints ,they really have a strict design guideline that needs to be respectes when creating or modeling in 3d softwares.
