Sculptris Solution?

Yesterday, we had our first multi-
colour print.  It came from the pre-loaded SD card.  It came out nicely:


More importantly, we found a way to print from Sculptris, the 3D design software we have been using.  First, I created a simple 3D head in Sculptris.  I then Exported it from Sculptris, thus creating a .obj file.  I then used MeshLab.  I imported the .obj file into MeshLab.  It looked like this:



I then Exported the project as a .stl file.  MakerWare recognizes and can print .stl files.




 Then it was just a matter of printing. An hour later:



GREAT SUCCESS!  Now we came design in digital 3D as a class and print our work.
Stay tuned!
