3D Printing Best Practices and Approaches

Title: Other – 3D Printing Best Practices and Approaches – download for Daz Studio or Poser

Description:

The concept of 3D printing can be traced back to when the sci-fi author, Arthur C. Clarke, was the first to describe the basic functions of a 3D printer in 1964. The first actual 3D printer appeared in 1987, where there was a view to using them in industry for design prototyping. Fast forward to today and you can get hold of a personal 3D printer at just a few hundred dollars.

This tutorial is for digital artists that are curious about 3D printing and how it may apply to them. John Haverkamp shows you why he took up 3D printing, how a 3D printer works, how to prepare a 3D model for printing, making the best use of a personal 3D printer and the typical "postwork"required on a 3D printed model. He'll even show how a model with ball and socket joints can be taken through the process. The session includes a webcam feed of John Haverkamp's studio as he shows you the Creality CR-10 Mini printer, the models he's created, the clean up and painting processes.
