There is a big difference between a 3D model and a 3D model designed for 3D printing. 3D printing a model requires a lot of specific parameters on the model to be exact for the print to succeed ...

The best way to simplify a complex model for 3D printing is to reduce its triangle mesh. Sometimes called decimating, this process takes away a lot of the complex geometry that is great to have ...

The bond between a 3D print and acrylic is very strong The first step was to create a 3D model which combined a constraining ‘fence’ to contain the acrylic panel with the required artwork ...
