Hi all, not sure if this it the right place, but I have been fooling around with some 3D software (Sketchup) and got it printed in 3D. (at
www.shapeways.com)
Remember, i am not a professional designer, and this was my very first attempt on creating something in 3D. A Taperssection key fob
It's certainly not perfect, but it did came out the way I designed it: very tiny! I got 2 prints, one in a material called "Alumide" and the other being "White Strong & Flexible Polished". The grey Alumide came out a bit better, but the design was a bit to small to have excellent results (the numbers are not readable). But still I am happy with the results. I am on my way to design other stuff, but first I wanted to share this with you.
3D printing is relative easy (I am sure there are some designers here) and maybe it can benefit in one way or the other as it comes to custom designs for a small group of customers.
I think about: custom designed mounts, custom designed cases/boxes. Any other idea's or needs?
