Choose 3D > 3D Print Settings.
The Properties panel displays the 3D print settings, and the image window shows
a preview of your 3D object. The preview shows you how it will look when prin-
ted, based on the printer you select.
2.
Choose Shapeways from the Print To menu in the Properties panel.
Shapeways is an online vendor that prints 3D objects and mails them to you for a
fee. There are other online vendors, but Shapeways is easiest to use because you
can choose its printers directly within Photoshop. If you use another vendor, ask
them for instructions for printing from Photoshop.
If you own a 3D printer, choose Local from the Print To menu, and then choose
your printer from the Printer menu. If your printer isn't listed in the menu, choose
Get Latest Printers from the Print To menu, and then download the profiles for all
supported printers.

plastic that simulates metal.
