Custom 3D Prints – Imagination Without Limits

Custom 3D prints are truly a marvel of technology. It is impressive what these printers can do. Any object and image that crosses your mind and that you can capture on the computer, you can have it in 3D.

Let’s first understand what 3D printing is. It is known as additive manufacturing, being a set of processes for the creation of objects through the successive addition of layers of material, based on the cross sections of a 3D model. The materials that are most used for this are plastic and metal alloys, although it must be said, almost any material can be used, from concrete to living tissues.

On many occasions, it is necessary to lighten the manufacture of parts, either for aerospace applications such as medical implants.

The software used for these prints are programs such as Netfabb, Fusion 360, Autocad, 3DS Max … among others. There is also the possibility of using free software such as Tinkercad. The possibilities are limitless.

Let’s see now in our section Geeks, which objects we have located that are especially geeks.

3D Miniselfies

Do you find it fun to have a 3D miniselfi of your best friend, your partner, your family or your pet for example? That’s easy for Selfi 3D company. This company manufactures with the latest machine on the market, Stratasys J55 in Resin and with Pantone quality (with a precision of 0.018 mm) a figure made to measure.

They also offer the ability to put a custom head on a fictional hero.

Geek prints

Now let’s imagine that we want to have our personalized video game or movie figures … Well, that’s no problem! There are many companies, professionals or even amateurs who are dedicated to this technological art of creating custom 3d prints. Last weekend, I used the services of a hobbyist who made these prints to give my nephew a pack of Pac-Man and ghosts. His eyes lit up, because in the market I did not find that they sold similar figures. I show you the result:
