3D Printing Minis Question
I'm wondering if anyone has any tips regarding 3D printing miniatures. Which software would be best to design? Would I have to "sculpt" them or is there 3D CAD- type software I could use? Any other tips? I have a functional knowledge of 2D and 3D cad software (AutoCAD, Inventor, Creo, etc).
I work for an engineering company designing large equipment for municipalities. There is a small contest going on at work to see who can take a particular piece of our equipment and create a 3" tall "mech hero" (marketing words) that best represents that product. (i.e. Incorporating parts of the equipment into the design) They plan on handing these out at an annual conference in place of the normal pens, mugs, lanyards, etc. as a marketing "gimmick." Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
