I use the latest ZBrush software to craft 3D nudibranch models. The organic way of modelling in ZBrush suits their crazy body shapes. I can also do all the preparation for 3D printing in ZBrush. It is then prepared for 3D printing prior to being uploaded to Shapeways where it will be 3D printed in White Strong and Flexible Nylon that gets a smooth polish to be ready for painting:
When printing only a small amount of resin 3D models, I print them on our own 3D printer. The material is intended for decorative purposes and is not suited as toys for kids. The material should not come into contact with heat or electricity. The nylon is not food safe. This material is not suitable for use in a fish tank. Products are printed in a layer by layer process, so sometimes these lines might be visible like a stepping effect. When they are sanded down and polished it becomes less noticeable.
