Before you adapt somebody’s artwork into a 3D model and print, be sure you’ve informed yourself of copyright, IP (intellectual property), fair use and licensing issues. A recent collaboration between illustrator Sophie Corrigan and Shapeways' digital marketing and social media specialist, Eric Ho, emphasized the importance of reaching mutually beneficial agreements and putting them in writing before getting creative partnerships off the ground. A successful collaboration involving Sophie and Eric and the latter’s 3D modeled and printed figurine based on Corrigan’s delightful hybrid creature, Pugtato, is instructional and inspiring.
