Hi guys,

Hope somebody could enlighten me in this, i´ve never worked with 3D 
Printing and Softimage, My client wants a model that´s going to be 
metal, for what i know it´s a ´simple box´, soon i´ll have the Autocad 
plane with all the dimensions.


 I´ll use Softimage to model this, but my client wants a ´.stl´ format.

How can i export this from Softimage?
There´s some free plugin? or Do i need to export an .obj/fbx file to 
another software and convert it?


thanks in adv,

Shapeways is a pretty complete service which is a lot of fun. Price isn't
cheap but then again nothing is.

 There´s some guide to follow to do this correctly from Softimage?
 Talking about the modeling, like.. i model the asset in quad, triangles,
 can i use hard edges, and after that i export the asset in obj or fbx, open

 it also has some nice tools to make things hollow, to save on print

Re: // 3D Printing

[Chris Marshall]

If you set up a free Shapeways account, you can test models by uploading
there. It'll automatically test your geometry and tell you where any
problems are. Accepts obj's too. They have lots of help files on how to
best build your geometry but I've found that if you're tidy with building
your models and any walls aren't too think, you shoulsn't have many
problems.
For testing they also print in metals, which I've tried. I had a sterling
silver ring printed for my wife :-) and she loves it! Phew!

i think you can just make it however you want
and just import it into meshlab as obj or fbx
just remember there's no smoothing normals or averaged normals in real
life, so bake the smoothing before export
zbrush was good with that since zbrush has no normals and it's almost

Re: // 3D Printing

[Tenshi]

Thank you guys for the recommendations!

There´s some guide to follow to do this correctly from Softimage? Talking
about the modeling, like.. i model the asset in quad, triangles, can i use
hard edges, and after that i export the asset in obj or fbx, open it in
meshlab/meshmixer. Anything i need to know before i began? Any advice?

Re: // 3D Printing

[toonafish]

Yep, Meshmixer does STL export. 

it also has some nice tools to make things hollow, to save on print material. 
You can also check for errors like non-manifold geometry and walls that are too 
thin.

i use Meshmixer for all this kinda stuff, I know it can prep for print, not
sure on the stl export though

Re: // 3D Printing

i used zbrush to export STLs, I know there's a way to measure things in
there too kinda before export
maya 2018 also does it, now that i looked at it, not sure how it gets it's
measurements. maybe on world scale

Hey everyone, thanks for your replies on the previous subject of

Yesterday I was googling around for 3d printers. I really liked
this one:

I was wondering if anyone has already start printing some 3D stuff
over anyone of these 3d printers?

I know there is a software that comes along with it so you can
input your models and print them out.

Re: 3D Printing experience on Softimage

[Chris Marshall]

You could try using the Shapeways.com service to test some models. I've
done a little dabbling and the unit size is no more of an issue than any
other 3d software. You run your object through a free package called
Netfabb, it tells you the scale of the object, which was 1unit=1mm, then
output a .stl file. The good thing with Shapeways is it's all automated,
you upload your model, it tells you how much it'll cost to be printed in
the various materials, then you can order what you want.

I saw the Form 1 in depth at Siggraph last year.

For desktop printers under $5,000 USD, it's definitely the best quality 
printer.  It's the only stereo lithography printer available at that price and 
can print with at least 4x better / finer resolution than the extrusion based 
printers such as Makerbot.  Even though the device is targeted for prototyping, 
it has enough quality to be used as final output for some applications.   Down 
side is the print volume is quite small, your very limited on choice of 
printing materials (which also have relatively short shelf life), and the 
agents used in the process are caustic.  You need to wear protective gloves to 
remove the output from the printer and give it a chemical bath before it's safe 
to hold with your bare hands - they don't tell you that part until you open the

Subject: 3D Printing experience on Softimage

Hey everyone, thanks for your replies on the previous subject of Quadro K4000.

Yesterday I was googling around for 3d printers. I really liked this one:

I was wondering if anyone has already start printing some 3D stuff over anyone 
of these 3d printers?
I know there is a software that comes along with it so you can input your 
models and print them out.

I've been very happy with Shapeways.  Be very careful designing for minimal
volume! You can save or waste a LOT that way.

 At least for a good reference, I can recommend shapeways.

 If you take the time to create an account, you can upload
 your model and benefit from shapeways´ model processing,
 showing you stats and running through a printability test.

 You´ll get print prices for each and every material you select
 and can then either go back to tune your model and re-upload
 or make a decisision based on the material cost.

 You don´t need to publish or actually print the model, so
 I found this helps a lot in starting to create models that
 fit as good as possible into print specs (size, wallthickness, etc.).

 It´s important to check the bounding box limitations of different
 materials (based on the printer/material used) and get used to how
 the different materials influence your print result.

 That is a pretty good and transparent service that should lead to few
 surprises.

 From there, it´s probably easier to compare competition prizes and options.


 Cheers,
