3D printing - research

Hello to everyone at Zbrush central. Iam just gathering some information for my class and I hope that you can help by answering a few questions.

as the title suggest it is to do with 3d printing and it would be great to hear your opinions about it:
(please answer the following)
Have you heard of 3d printing?
if yes. Have you thought of using it for your 3d artworks?
if yes, could you find a place to make it for you?
if yes, was the price reasonable? (if possible give the price that was quoted; if the price was not reasonable would you have purchased it if it was sold at a lower price )?

To those that have used it.
What did you use the finished product for? ( what was the motivation behind producing a physical model of the 3d model? )
Would you use it again?

I do know that offload studio offers it but i was wondering how many of you have actually thought of using such a feature in zbrush, or maybe even purchasing such models off other artist. I would like to hear your views

my answer would be yes to all of the above. Check my stuff out @ joshharker.com or on Facebook to see how I’ve applied ZB & 3D printing to my work. I’ve been involved with Rapid Prototyping/3D printing for nearly 20 years. I’d be happy to discuss any details or questions you may have.
