In order to make things from either 3D printers (or CNC routers/mills that have 3 or more degrees of movement), you need a 3D model.
In order to make things from either 3D printers (or CNC routers/mills that have 3 or more degrees of movement), you need a 3D model.
Your model should be "watertight" (the mesh has a mathematically determinable interior), correct normals, and a manifold topology. Shapeways has a nice [http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/things-to-keep-in-mind tutorial] explaining this.
