The advent of cheaply available 3D printers in the home and the growing number of bureaux offering 3D printing services has meant that in recent years more and more modellers are adding 3D printing to their toolbox of modelling techniques. Many start by buying 3D printed components or downloading freely available 3D designs, however to really benefit from the technology you need to design your own models or components for printing. 3D printing not only gives the option to design complete models, but also those difficult to get detailing components to add to ready to run items or to augment traditionally produced models. You can also print jigs and guides to help you when building using more traditional modelling methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n
