3D Printing. Which site is the best?

WEe · Jan 2012

So yeah, I'm thinking of 3D printing one of my models. Which site is the best right now? Id also like that they would print the texture on it that I have made, if it's possible that is.

shapeways are cheap and do full colour - print big though cos they don't use full quality settings

Alright, been checking Shapeways. Seems good. But as you said, not full quality settings, meaning that for example, If Id want to print a ring with small details, they wouldn't be too good looking, unless Id scale it up quite much? A good size helmet would be nice to print. Not a one that would actually fit a head, but still.

Check out http://www.offloadstudios.com/core/. They have some of the best print quality out there from what I've seen. It does come with a pretty steep price though.

*edit ok notice you want them painted, don't think they do that

Excelent quality I must say. Though, right now the prices are too high for me. BUT, I will definately keep it on my favorites and hopefully sometime Id have a good model and the money to put in as the quality is just astonishing.

@Gavku
The quality is very good I must say. Painting is not a must, but would be nice. Ill be checking more stuff from there.

Oh and shipping should be available to Europre as I live In Finland.

Offload is pretty awesome, I used to work for them back when they were 1st starting up. they have been working directly with studios like sony santa monica and printed some sick god of war art, it really is the most top notch quality if you can afford it.

I have used des at ownage.com and found the print to be of excelent quality and a pretty decent price too looking at the site I'm not sure whats going on but well worth dropping a line to him.

There are a handful of different sites that offer 3d printing. I would recommend shapeways. it is a popular provider that offers 3D printing. It has built-in marketplaces that let you sell your digital designs directly from their site.

Hi guys, i would be happy to help with any projects you guys have. i run a company called PD Models, link to website here.

we run an objet 3000hd 3d printer that is , in my opinion one of if not the best printer to prind 3d models with the level of detail you guys reqire. any projects you guys have dont hesitate to ping them over to us and i can give you a quote. and dont worry about files being "water tight" we can sort that this end.

take care.
