#Meshlab make solid how to#
There is a Youtube video that demonstrates how to export a file from JMol, edit it in Blender and then submit to Shapeways for printing Section 3 of the Jmol user guide gives step by step commands needed to design a model that will be built on a 3D Printer It is important to note that the structures need to be a single non-disconnected model, it may also be necessary to add scaffolding struts to support the model during the printing process, these can be removed later.
Jmol application (not applet) export as VRML (.wrl format) or Wavefront (.obj format).
#Meshlab make solid software#
Modelling Software that supports 3D outputĪ number of applications can be used to create the files required for 3D printing,
#Meshlab make solid update#
There a wide variety of file formats however some of the older formats do not support colours or textures, unfortunately the latest update to Chem3D for iPad can only export in stl format which does not support colours. Image generously provided by Molecular Graphics Laboratory, The Scripps Research Institute File Formats 3D printing uses an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes to slowly build up the final 3 dimensional shape. 3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model and I guess it is a sign that what was a bleeding edge technology has now become mainstream when the London branch of Selfridges announce that the team at iMakr, a 3D printing workshop based in Clerkenwell in London are opening an in store studio.
