Would a 3d printer work for me ?
I run a small business making figurines from silicone moulds.
I am self taught so I get by but my moulds are not perfect and i usually have a lot of repair work on the more complicated castings.
I have a dream of just buying a 3d scanner scanning my sculptures in and just printing them out ,lol But i'm guessing its not as easy as it sounds ?
I also want to make make spherical "trinket" boxes , I have the prototype which is a hollow sphere in two halves that slot together. Is it at all feasible to just take a scan of the two halves and print it. I would be happy to sand and finish the finished product. I'm not expecting perfection , just would love to bypass the tiresome silicone mold making process.
Also can 3d printed object be painted ?
Thanks for any advice
