Want To Create 3D Puzzles? What To Know
If you're looking to produce some puzzles and you want to find a way to do something that is unique, find a 3D printing company and have some 3D puzzles produced. These puzzles will be more challenging for the people that are using them, and it will be easier to come up with more creative designs and layouts. Here are a few of the things that you want to ask the printing companies when you start looking into finding a company you can use, and what you should expect.
Printing Costs
The printing costs are most likely going to go by units, and they will want you to order a specific amount of units to get a specific price. The costs may vary based on the amount of color you use, how detailed the graphic or print is, and how long it takes the machine to print this type of picture. If there is a lot of manual work involved with the design or printing, this can also increase the cost. The thickness of the material will also affect the price.
Cutting Options
The puzzle needs to be cut after the puzzle has been printed on the material. This may be a service that the printing company can offer, the puzzles may have to be shipped to another location, or you may have to get a cutting machine and do the work on your own. You'll want to talk with the printing company about what the easiest way to do the work would be, and get costs from other cutting options and services.
Weight
Talk with the company about the weight of the project. You have to pay to ship the puzzles from the company to your location, and then to ship them to customers when they are ordered, so you want to be cost-effective. If they also have to be shipped to a cutting location, this will be another additional cost.
If you love puzzles or you are creating puzzles, and you want to make sure that your puzzles stand out against the rest, you'll want to find a 3D printing company to help you with the shape, design, and the work. Be sure to shop around so you know you are getting a great price on the puzzles that you want to purchase, and make sure you know how you're going to get the puzzles cut and then boxed before you have them printed.
