In this tutorial we will sculpt and prepare a digital model for 3D printing. Throughout these lessons we will create a character that will eventually be milled out of polystyrene at over 40 feet tall for a theme park in Holland. We will cover all of the conceptual stages and prepare a high resolution version for a video rotation. Then we will process the ZTool and convert it to a known 3D printable format.

We’ll get started by learning about the RGB and CMYK color models which is something every designer must understand. From here, we will begin learning about several topics that are specific to preparing jobs for commercial printing. First, we will spend a little bit of time learning about the difference between screen resolution and print resolution. Next, we’ll move on and learn about topics like spot color and process color, the appearance of black, overprinting and trapping as well as managing our ink levels. We’ll wrap up this course by learning how to prepare a press ready PDF in InDesign. After completing this course, you will have a good understanding of the concepts, tools and techniques used to prepare print ready documents in Adobe InDesign.

The 3D printing revolution is well upon us, with new machines appearing at an amazing rate. With the abundance of information and options out there, how are makers to choose the 3D printer that's right for them? MAKE is here to help, with our Make: Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing. We brought 16 of the top printers to our headquarters and hosted a weekend-long printer shootout staffed by the editors of MAKE and a number of luminaries in the field. We documented out-of-box experiences and subjected the printers to a number of print and torture tests. This issue presents our findings for you in a clear, concise manner.
