What do I want?

Can I use someone

else’s model?

Do I knowany 3D design

software?

Can I expressmy idea asa design?

Does my model ‘make sense’

to print?Is my model in

the right file format?

Will my model print without

errors?Does my object

look and function as I hoped?

How does it fit into my life?

What’s a bit rough around the edges?

What future do we imagine?

How can we help create that future?
