Three-dimensional
(3D) printing of small objects at home has become a popular hobby for wannabe
designers, and this shows also in the new technology “hype” statistics.
Anything from decorative and hard-to-find spare parts to the constituent parts of
the printer itself can be manufactured using mesh designs and an export file
for the printer in question. Second Life © (SL) is also a viable platform for
viewing the designs before printing them in 3D, and now also designs made for
SL can be printed in glorious 3D for real-life (RL) use. Stareyes Galaxy
discussed the technology and real-life examples of SL jewelry with Joja Dhara
and Maxi Gossamer.
