The Process from idea to print

When you upload a file for 3d printing, it’s checked for printability. Minor defects are fixed automatically and price is generated and sent to you for approval. However, if your file doesn’t pass the fixing process, you will get in touch with our support staff. They can perform some basic fixing operations and provide you with a price quote, further fixing included.

File fixing for 3D printing involves:

  • Inversion of flipped triangles
  • Stitching of bad edges
  • Filling of holes
  • Trimming of surfaces and merging of shells

Tip

Currently we need a 3D design to 3D print. A sketch or photo don’t magically turn into a 3D file.
So where do you go from here? Let’s list a few options to point you in the right direction.

  • Hire a designer to do the 3D modeling for you.
    We can provide designers on an hourly base.
  • Customize existing products. You can find some here.
  • Get started with a free 3D design app like tinkercad or 123D
