Also There is a Shapeways Blender tool that will help you fine thin walls and estimate price.

Hope this helps!

If you're editing your model, select all the faces that you want to thicken and go to the 'mesh' tab and then the 'scripts' submenu. There should be a "solidify wireframe" option that may help and one I don't remember the name of off the top of my head... Play around with those, they can thicken your mesh a little. It isn't an exact science, so you'll likely have to do a little cleanup after it's done, but it will give you a good start. That's what I do, anyway.
