More from DracoLoricatus
So in the last 2 days I downloaded Sculptris and started playing with it. Today I took the dragon head model I made, sliced it up into contour planes in Rhino and laser-cut it in some down time at work.
I'm pretty happy with it. I'll probably sell this one, modify the design a bit and make a bigger one. Not positive what the price will be. Probably somewhere around $50 for this one, since it was kind of a test. I may also mount it as though it's a hunting trophy. We'll see.
It's made out of 1/8-inch thick Baltic Birch plywood, cut out with a 60-watt laser cutter. It's about 6 inches long from tip of the nose to the base of the neck.

I've seen 123DMake demonstrated, and I'm not actually all that impressed by the slicing functionality. The slot-together construction option it has looks a bit more interesting, but I'm working on my own script within Rhino to make a better thing that's similar to that function.
I've used a 3D printer once in architecture school, but I usually avoided it for model making on sort of philosophical grounds. People who 3D printed their models a lot tended not to have a good sense of how their buildings would eventually be built, whereas when you were building it by hand out of parts you were forced to think about those things.
My company is thinking about getting a 3D printer, though, so maybe I'll have another toy to play with soon.
