This Major Qualifying Project explores the process of creating figurines and miniatures of fictional creatures and characters using 3D printing technology. The project begins with a brief history of figure creation and then delves into the modern process of 3D printing. The report details the step-by-step process of modeling the figures using a combination of digital and traditional sculpting techniques. It also covers the 3D printing process, including adding keys, supports, and decimation. Finally, the report discusses the painting process and showcases the progress of the tabletop figures. This project serves as a small guide for anyone interested in creating their own figurines and miniatures.
