  <title>Printing a surface made up of thin faces</title>
  <link>http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&amp;goto=54913&amp;th=11072#msg_54913</link>
  <description><![CDATA[I recently published a paper on designing surfaces that are stable under gravity: www.cs.columbia.edu/cg/pdfs/188-selfsupporting.pdf<br />
<br />
I would now like to take an example of a surface designed on the computer, and realize it in real life. In particular, I would like to print the surface on the right of Figure 1.<br />
<br />
To do this I would need to print two parts:<br />
a) A single (hollow) volume, representing the space between the surface in Figure 1 and the floor. This piece will be used as a scaffolding for constructing the surface.<br />
b) All of the faces of the surface. As you can see, there are about 100 pieces. I will then assemble the pieces into the structure shown in Figure 1.<br />
<br />
Can this be done using shapeways? Can I upload the pieces as a single .obj file containing disconnected volumes? Is there a way of easily labeling each piece (to ease putting the surface together afterwards)?]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[What size did you actually want? Is it a scaled model?<br />
The maximum 'Bounding Box' for SWF is 660 x 350 x 550mm<br />
Have you got a .obj file of the structure?]]></description>
