I'm in New Zealand and I have had a new product designed that I want a 3D model made of. I'm having trouble finding anyone down here that can do it for me so I've joined this group hoping that someone will be able to help. I have CAD files of it I just need someone to make me a sample so that I can make sure that everything is going to work before I go to the expense of getting a mold made.
Any help or advise would be appreciated. I'm not a big company just a guy working from home with an idea.

You can then order the item, and Shapeways will print it on one of their printers for you.]]> stonysmith 2013-01-05T01:20:09-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59643&th=12261#msg_59643 Cheers]]> Tizeye 2013-01-05T01:28:56-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59644&th=12261#msg_59644 Thanks]]> Tizeye 2013-01-05T01:31:05-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59646&th=12261#msg_59646 http://www.shapeways.com/about/how_does_it_work

Your model will have to fit the Design Rules for the material you select.
From the picture you uploaded above, I'd suggest that you try WSF (Nylon) as a first try.]]> stonysmith 2013-01-05T02:21:50-00:00
