    3) ideally you'd want it made on a polyjet priunter. Thius is a machine the uses coloured 'binder' in much the same way a normal inkjet printers does. The difference is that it prints on really fine powder that is bound into a solid block.
    These machines cost upwards of $150,000 - and most of the decent sized print bureaus will have them. mycfavisit

    The only way to find out what it will cost is to upload a similiar model - you'll probably need to have the final file in an AMF format.
    Presumably there is a plugin for autocad that should export to amf format.
    I;d be surprised if there wasn't.

    It will also need to be a 'solid' file. Not just 'faces'.

    Best way to get a ball park cost is to upload to shapeways. https://www.shapeways.com/
