Exporting STL Files from SketchUp

We are getting excited about 3D Printing. Recently we joined up with Cork Hackerspace who are a bunch of technology enthusiasts in Cork. I hadn't seen any examples of printed objects but one member has a 3D printer.

Below is a great new development published on the Ponoko blog that will make 3D Printing easier.



I also have a plugin called Sculpteo. Its a 3D printing service that plugs right in to SketchUp.



I haven't used their service yet but hope to give it a go soon.. 3D printing is so beautifully geeky its bound to become the norm.
