Testimonials
I like the ease of use in the Shapeways platform, being able to 3D print on-demand orders for the first time, and most of all–being able to scale my business. In the beginning years ago I basically had the change in my pocket and a credit line at my bank so I couldn’t order a ton of things, and you never know what’s going to sell.”
Steven Jaworski
Owner | Voytek Medical
During the process, we used Shapeways capabilities to 3D print many prototypes. That meant we had the option to iterate very quickly, print objects, and test them to see if they were working correctly in terms of complexity, or too much complexity.

What is 3D Printing?
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process where materials are joined together to make objects from 3D model data (CAD).
Typically, 3D printing is a layer-by-layer process where part geometries are “grown,” fusing with the previous layer. 3D printing processes can build objects in plastics, photopolymers, reaction polymers, composites, metal, glass, and other materials.

3D printers
Good afternoon everyone!
On Habré, you can relatively often see articles on 3d printers, comparing their prices and ordering opportunities with us.
And what about the finished 3D models?
What if I don’t want to buy a printer yet, but it would be interesting to “feel” the printed model. And it is advisable to choose from a catalog of ready-made models, and not draw it yourself.
Are there many resources where they can be downloaded, bought or printed from the catalog?
Answering these questions, I decided to make a small list of resources with the ability to select ready-made models and order printing.
Foreign services:
- www.thingiverse.com is probably the most well-known one in existence. The service was created for the free exchange of models under the GNU General Public License. The service has been operating since 2008.
Owned by MakerBot Industries, USA. - www.shapeways.com - custom printing. The service has been operating since 2011. Production (printing) is located in the Netherlands and the USA. You can add your own, you can even create your own store. Due to the extensive fleet of 3d printers, they provide a large selection of materials, including ceramics and steel. They deliver to Russia.
- i.materialise.com/gallery - Print models from the catalog. The company has been operating since 1990 and is located in Belgium.
- It is also possible to evaluate your model and choose a material
- www.sculpteo.com/en/gallery/today - print 3d models and sell your own. There are quite complex and expensive models.
- www.kraftwurx.com - a platform for creating 3d models and selling them.
- www.turbosquid.com — database of 3d models for game designers, architects, etc. Many models were not created for the purpose of 3d printing, you can find something.
Russian services:
- 3dmarket.org is a service that allows you to download and upload models, as well as select an artist for printing.
If the list is not complete, please add in the comments, I will update the post.
UPD:
from foreign ones, the service https://www.ponoko.com was added, they are engaged not only in 3d printing, but also in laser cutting.
From Russian:
- 3dprintus.ru is a startup that manufactures various products according to individual sketches.
- can-touch.ru - there is a catalog with ready-made models. Large selection of materials.
- Why do use 3D printing at all, what can be useful, interesting done with it?
- With the help of what programs, preferably free, can create a 3D model ?
Thingiverse Service - Universe for 3d Printing / Sudo Null IT News
When it comes to 3D printers and 3D printing, the following questions usually arise:
These questions can be answered using the 3D models catalog service - Thingiverse .
In this post I will do a small review of 3d models from Thingiverse (grouped by the programs with which they were created). As an example, the header provides a 3D printed construction kit created with 123D Design . More details about this constructor, and other examples of 3d models from Sketchup , OpenSCAD , Blender3d , FreeCAD - under the cut.
At the beginning, a little about the service itself, and the specifics associated with 3D printing.
Thingiverse is a free service opened in 2008, developed and maintained by MakerBot (which in turn creates and sells well-known 3D printers), anyone can register on this service and upload a 3D model for download. A key feature of the service is that all uploaded models are published under a Creative Commons license, which means that you can freely and freely download and just as freely modify.
The generally recognized format for 3D printing is STL (short for STereoLithography), this format contains only the shape of the object, without color, texture information, in fact it is a surface made up of triangles.
It is in this format that you need to export 3D models if you plan to print them on a 3D printer.
Let's start reviewing 3D programs.
123D Design
AutoDesk is seriously entering the 3D printing market - it provides a good service for preparing 3D models, in particular, you can download the 123D Design program for free. Available for PC and Mac.
Pixil Bits
The 3D printed Pixil Bits constructor consists of several elements, on the basis of which you can assemble a variety of shapes:

All files can be downloaded here, source code is also provided for editing in 123D Designer.
Birds mobile
Want to make sitting and spinning birds? (good example for basic math :))
Here is Joseph's "Birds Mobile" project.
Assembly process and end result can be viewed here.
Here's what you need to print:

And of course different arrangements are possible:
Hidden text
The original 123D Design files can be downloaded from the project page.
Sketchup3d
Perhaps one of the most famous programs will be Sketchup3d, originally developed under the wing of Google, but later transferred by the search giant to Trimpble.
Pluses — user-friendly interface for work, scripting in Ruby. Cons - not open-source, version only for Windows and Mac.
Mini Sumo Robot
3d printed platform for mini sumo robot, contains frame and
blade.
Assembly process
Files for 3D printing and original Sketchup files can be downloaded here.
3D Logo or name
Want to print a logo or name?
Here is the How To Make A 3D Logo Or Name project, where you can download instructions on how to do it in Sketchup.
Marblevator
The Marblevator project is an example of a "railway" using 3D printed rails and an iron ball.
Assembly instructions, and here you can download all the elements and original files in Sketchup.
OpenSCAD
OpenSCAD is a free open-source, cross-platform program for creating 3D models using a special modeling language.
You can create graphic primitives, merge, subtract, clone, and so on. To get the object you want. And after - export it to STL (recently there was a small tutorial on OpenSCAD on Habré)
Spectacle case
Need a glasses case? You can download and print from here.
The original format in OpenSCAD - that is, you can edit it to fit your glasses.
Animal bowl
Is your cat's bowl still unsigned?
This is easy to fix with 3D printing. In the files section, the original OpenSCAD file for customization (scad extension) is provided.
Reducer
Want to print mechanics? Please - Tiny Planetary Gears Set project.
All parts of the mechanism can be downloaded here, and here is a link to the archive with all OpenSCAD original files.
Gears
If you need to print a variety of gears, you can look at this project: Public Domain Involute Parameterized Gears, which contains OpenSCAD files for creating 3d models of various gears.
Blender
Blender3d is a free open source 3d modeling program (supports Python scripting)
Singing Dragon
One of the popular models on Thingiverse, the Adalinda: The Singing Serpent project, is made with Blender3d.
The author who created the model - specially optimized it for 3D printing - there is no need for “support” supporting elements, the whole model is printed as is.
Master Yoda
The fairly popular Yoda Figure model was created using Blender, or rather “assembled” from several models.
Based on the information from the original article, for its "preparation" were taken:
1. Yoda's head bust (from thingiverse)
Hidden text
2. Yoda's body from google sketchup gallery.

Airplane
Skewer Fighter Jet (F-86 Saber) aircraft model project, with the ability to download the Blender source file.
The author of macouno can see many other models created based on Blender3d, in particular:
Keyboard support
Sometimes the lift legs of the keyboard break, you can download and print: Computer Keyboard Riser
FreeCAD
FreeCAD is a lesser known program, but quite interesting because it is positioned as a professional CAD system, completely free and open-source.
Full Python scripting is supported.
Bike phone holder
Want to mount your smartphone on the handlebars of your bike? Then see this project: Bike phone holder . Files for FreeCAD are included.
Another view
Drawer handle
Need a drawer handle? No problem, the Simple Drawer Knob project. The original FreeCAD file is included in the downloads.
Phone Wall Mount
Want to put your phone on the wall? Here is the project: Wall Mount for Vtech 6419cordless phone.
Smartphone speaker
Do you want to make a horn for your smartphone? The Parametric Acoustic Horns project will allow you to use a python program to generate the required horn in FreeCad.
You can hear the difference:
As a conclusion
This is of course a small part of those models that are posted on Thingiverse, and new projects appear every day.
