Sending us an email about robots and 3D printing is a pretty good idea if you want to catch our attention. No wonder our ears perked up when Robert Steiner wrote that he gave the Robodude a 3D print treatment.
Robert doesn’t just 3D print stuff, he takes it a step (or two) further and paints the items to make them look more realistic. Here’s a video of Robert explaining his work process, fascinating insight into the world of scale model making. More pics further down.
Robert runs a small 3D print shop out of Port Jefferson, NY and uses SolidWorks for design and modeling, and Objet Alaris 30 for printing. You should check out his website at www.deepseaartworks.com.
And finally another model by Scott Bruins, the alien assault rifle model from scifi movie "District 9".
