How to get a 3D CAD File

by on May.17, 2012, under News, Tutorials

So you have a 3D Printer and now you want to print that prototype you’ve been thinking about for so long.

Here are a couple of ways to take your idea and turn it in to a perfectly layered 3D plastic object:

1. 3D Scanner

We can send someone out to you to scan your object. The 3D Scanner will scan your object. After the file most likely needs cleanup and then GCODE generation before sending to the 3D printer.

2. 3D CAD Designer

Simply contact us regarding our CAD design services. Our 3D CAD Designers will guide you along the way with your sketch / drawing in order to create a 3D file with perfect GCODE.

3. 3D Modeling Program

A good free 3D Modeling Program we recommend is Google Sketchup. You can create anything you want with this program. Also, very easy to create 3D text.
