It may seem obvious, but things you can make in software cannot always be seamlessly translated into physical objects. Design assets you\u2019ll find in computer animations and video games don&#8217;t usually take the laws of physics and gravity into account.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meshmixer.com\/download.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Autodesk Meshmixer<\/a> for some quick edits and we\u2019ll take advantage of Shapeways 3D Tools to help finalize any improvements before sending the model to print successfully. And if you get totally stuck, you can always visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shapeways forums<\/a> and get advice and tips from our 3D printing community.<\/p>\n<p>Open Meshmixer and choose <strong>File &gt; Import <\/strong>to\u00a0import the design file.
