Thanks to Blender you can now create your own 3D printed cute dog figurine on Pupworkshop.

Pupworkshop is a webapp for creating 3D printed dog figurines. I used Blender for:
- Designing the models
- Optimizing the meshes for 3D printing
- Automating the assets pipeline
I have an export script that automatically does:
- Export individual parts in low-poly to OBJ (for display)
- Export individual parts in high-res to X3D (for printing)
- Render each part into an icon (I have predefined cameras for these)
This screenshot shows how the setup looks like, with the base mesh and all the individual parts:
To make the small parts fit the base mesh perfectly, I used the Shrinkwrap and the Solidify modifiers.
When ordering a design, there is a piece of code on the server that assembles the final X3D scene from the selected high-res meshes, and uploads it to Sculpteo.
This project would not have been possible without the flexibility of Blender!
