3D printing considerations

- [Instructor] One last consideration…if you are doing sculpting with the end goal…of creating a physical object via 3D printing.…Now you can sculpt things that are fantastic…and wonderful and have self intersections…or flipped faces and they'll look pretty much fine…on a computer.…If your end goal is just to show this off…on social media or to create a portfolio…of what you can sculpt, then you don't maybe need to care…about translating your 3D model into a physical object.…

But if you are going to be 3D printing,…you can create things which cannot be 3D printed.…So let me show you what that looks like.…I'm going to go on to…Shapeways, which is a large 3D print…company that will send you 3D prints and on which…you can actually sell all of your creations as well.…And if you click on here, on make,…and then underneath make, click on materials.…

This will come up with the materials page for Shapeways.…You scroll down here and it talks…about their different materials.…Strong and flexible plastic,…I'll open that one in a new tab.…
