Need Help with 3D PRINTING..

hey guys,

wondering if anyone can help me with some info on 3D printing.

a friend of mine has created a full body 3D sculpt in zbrush.
i really want to get it 3D printed into a 1/4 scale statue.
how do i go about this???

some questions i have:

firstly, can someone recommend any companies they have used or know of?

dose the 3D sculpt have to be cut/seperated into pieces before you print it? or is this something the printer can do for you?

dose anyone know the rough price or getting a quarter scale 3D print done?

any info would be much appreciated.

thanks

-rob

They don't have much of a site but you can email them. TMU they prep the statue for 3D printing so there isn't anything your friend would have to do.

1/4 scale can start at around $2000 minimum.
