Over the last few years 3D printed terrain has become more common place. I was first introduced by the concept by some wargamers from NYC at the 2013 Games Day in Memphis. After seeing what can be done with this technology, I got my own 3D Printer in December 2014. Since then there has been multiple Kickstarters presenting amazing STL design files. (STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems, this is the most common file type for printing 3D models) Once you have these files, you can print your own terrain for your gaming table. The awesome thing is, once you have a t STL file of s model you are able to print it out as many times as you desire. Recently business have popped up online that sells the STL files or completed printed out models ready to paint and put to use.
A new tool/toy is coming to my studio. This will be the begginig of a wargaming terrain 3D printing farm adding to my venerable 2014 Printrbot Metal Plus. Stay tuned for upcoming model prints, designs, ideas and lots of time in the airbrush booth.
