3D Print Exporter
3D Print Exporter adds to ZBrush a direct path to the 3D printing world by adding the famous STL format (ASCII and Binary) which can be opened by all packages dedicated to the printing process.
Naturally, it is possible to set the size of the 3D model (ZTool) and all its sub-models (SubTools) in either inches or millimeters. Additionally, you can set the size for just the visible SubTools, allowing you to work with partial files.
On top of that, the VRML format with vertex color support has been added, to improve compatibility with ZCorp’s series of printers or other printers that can do 3D printing in, full color.
“The new Decimation Master and 3D Print Exporter tools have filled the weakest link in my workflow from creation to fabrication. You could spend many thousands of dollars and not get a better decimator or translator.”
T.S. Wittelsbach – House of Wittelsbach – Jeweler
“The 3D Print Exporter continues to save my life on a daily basis. The quality I’m able to get out of ZBrush as a usable file that my other programs can handle has made me a happy camper. You have just opened up a new world for me!”
Adam Ross – Idol Workshop
“Finally! – a direct export from ZBrush to print format! This tool will help decrease the time it takes to get a ZBrush sculpture ready for 3d print production, and open up the services of most 3D Printing Service Bureaus.” Bill Henderson – Creative Director – Offload Studios Inc.
“Going from the final design to rapid prototyping ready parts has been a timely production within itself… That has now been eliminated with Decimation Master and the 3D Printer Exporter plugin for ZBrush. The ability to go directly from ZBrush to a optimized scaled prototype part, eliminating any other software in between, is priceless. Once again Pixologic turns the technical to art.” Jason Lopes – Senior Systems Engineer – Legacy Effects

The Decimator is allowing us to work much more efficiently with ZBrush tools that have insanely high poly counts! The detail that we are able to maintain in the 3D printing process will yield some of the most amazing tactual 3d sculpts ever seen!”
