I represent the company www.afera3d.com

If you are good in CAD and can create mind blowing designs using software like blender and you are ambitious and restless, then you could be our freelance designer.

We are the first 3d printing company in Nigeria and we look towards being the best by engaging minds that do not understand the term- impossible.

Come grow with us, come challenge the status quo.

We appreciate people who love what they do but we have a special flair for crazy people, rebels who want to break design norms.

looool...seems you are the don here. Why was i asked to meet you? I need to pay protection levies to you?

This is good news.

We once considered getting a 3d printer at work to create physical samples of our designs to present to clients instead of just using 2d/3d renders
We scrapped the idea for a number of reasons.

Anyways, I'm looking to try it out on personal projects.

Sorry to say though, your site makes you look unprofessional.

Do you have pics of any 3d print you've done , cos everything from your site is obviously off other sites.
At least provide samples, let's know what you are capable of.
Would also like to know the materials you can print with - e.g. ABS , metal

Look at this site for example http://www.shapeways.com/

There are a lot of people interested in this, please step up your game.

@cgniyi...thanks for your feedback. We will definitely improve on the site as we progress.

Our work for some architectural firms cannot be displayed due to non-disclosure agreement we have with our clients. Thats why we want to move into the mass market so we can have something like shapeways.

We print in PLA, ABS and metal.

We are professionals and dedicated to best global practices in the 3d industry.

We look towards doing business with you.

How 3D Printing works

It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is made in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file using a 3D modeling program (for the creation of a totally new object) ór with the use of a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). This scanner makes a 3D digital copy of an object and puts it into a 3D modeling program.

To prepare the digital file created in a 3D modeling program for printing, the software slices the final model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers. When this prepared file is uploaded in the 3D printer, the printer creates the object layer by layer. The 3D printer reads every slice (or 2D image) and proceeds to create the object blending each layer together with no sign of the layering visible, resulting in one three dimensional object.
