You can now 3D print your Leopoly creations. We're excited to let you turn your art into 3D printed things. Use Leopoly to make your own jewlery, a lovely unique gift for someone you care about or a fun thing to decorate your home. 3D printing was always a wonderful technology but now with Leopoly anyone can turn their thoughts into a 3D printed thing. To 3D print your creation simply press on the "3D print" button next to each design. You will be taken to the website of our partner Sculpteo. There you can select the material and even scale your object to make it larger or smaller. Once you order it your earrings, pen, figurine, whale, or whatever it is that you want to make should arrive within a week.
Some notes on the materials:
White Plastic is a porous flexible plastic. It is a tough material and can be used for hinges, springs and functional items. It diffuses light and makes for wonderful light shades. Jewlery looks good in this material as do art objects. It can make for very detailed prints and things such as figurines look nice in this material with good detail visible. On the down side this plastic because it is porous may absorb dirt and stain.
The Colored Plastic materials are the same material but dyed black, red, blue, yellow, green, pink, orange, beige, brown & grey. These should become dirty less quickly. The Polished Plastic is the same material but tumbled so it is smooth. Regular White Plastic feels like your jeans but this is more soapy and smooth if this makes sense.
Alumide is the White Plastic material with aluminium powder mixed in. It is more brittle and things in this material look quite space aged and techy. Alumide breaks much easier than the regular White Plastic.
For the Silver Material you get a silver coating on your object. You can use this for jewlery for example.
The White and Black Detail materials are made by UV cured resin. These are very detailed and smooth parts which can make for very good desktop avatars for example. Sculpteo will also spray paint these for you in various colors.
The ceramic material is glazed ceramics, food safe and lets you make your own cups, vases & plates. With this you can use Leopoly to customize your kitchen or dining table. You could also make ceramic sculptures. You can make your objets in eight different colors: White Glossy, Oyster Blue, Tangerine Orange, Turquoise, Aquarius Blue, Satin Black, Anis Green & Lemon Yellow.
The pricing on the objects depends on the material and the size of the thing you are making. Large things are very expensive when 3D printed but small things are affordable. You should be able to make some nice knick knacks for around $25. Just press "3D print" to see the prices and see what size and material does with the price. We hope you enjoy making your creations real with us. Please let us know what you've made and what you thought of the experience!
