Doing 3d Printing? Show us your work...

[mad_aeon]

Hi,
I am Davide, i have been a freelance 3d modeler for the past years.
I also loved to design and create machines, and now decided to make this my first job.
So I quit my (ordinary) job, and founded a startup to design and sell 3d printers, I wanted them to be really affordable, but with an high quality!
We are now looking for high quality 3d models, to be printed to show how high our quality is.
We sometimes use 3d models from websites like thingiverse, but most of that models are designed for FDM machines, so often they lack fine details.
If enough people are interested here, we would also like to host a contest, you submit us your creations (.Stl files, maximum printing area is 8cm diameter by 8cm tall), the winner gets a 3d print of the model sent for free!
What do you think?
I attach a photo of the machine, and a sample to show the quality of the prints.

Thanks,
Davide

Hi there, first time posting in the forums! Great thread!
I have been a traditional sculptor for the collectible industry for a couple of years now, and in the last four years I went completly digital! For me, being able to do work digitally is magic! It is really magic, and then to be able to see that “virtual image” as a"physical" piece is beyond my imagination. Here are a couple of pieces, for different companies, you can see some more at my cgsociety gallery http://alterton.cgsociety.org/

I’ve got a few more politicians to make next

Some amazing prints in this thread. Good idea Roberto.

I haven’t got a printer of my own yet, so I commissioned this, my first printed zbrush sculpt, to Ownage. I think they did an amazing job, with the final result being even better than the zbrush sculpt…

You can compare the results against the zbrush version:

These look great Alterton, love the detail that’s been printed, what size are these printed at if you don’t mind me asking?

Another bunch of parts for our models:

Cool!

What material it was printed in?

Here is an elephant mug I made for my wife on our anniversary.

This was my original attempt at both 3D scanning/photogrammy and 3D printing. Printed at ASU and captured with a borrowed tablet in a cafe in Pennsylvania. I edited the model in Zbrush to make it hollow and level on the bottom. Certain parts had to be reshaped and the ear on the right on the print is a copy of the ear on the left in the scan because I didn’t have the subject for re-shooting. The height also appears a little squashed but overall I am pleased with this.





Since this project I’ve done a lot more with 3D scanning, Photogrammy, and Zbrush. I’m investing in my own printer before pursuing too many more real world creations. I would like to be able to 3D print and paint figurine sized characters with high levels of detail like so much of the fantastic work on here. Hopefully soon.
