Notes on 3D printing.
Initial foray into 3D printing will be getting something reasonably small and simple printed - exaggerated terrain, or a complex shape.
Creating a Shape
Questions:
- What formats can you use?
- How do you turn something physical into a shape?
- How do you design a 3d printed case for something - rough approximation and measurement of a shape into a series of volumes?
- Google Sketchup - last time I tried it, it was a bit hoakie and awkward, but had a lot of potential. See how it is now. Try it on a NEW computer, too.
