Hi Aaron,
Thanks for selecting Zip-Bit as your 3D Scanning / 3D Modeling / 3D Printing engineering service provider.

A quote will be provided when a valid 3D Model is provided in one of the following formats -

.STL (monochromatic 3D Printing)
.VRML (full color 3D Printing)
.X_B, .IGS, .STP, .SLDPRT (I do charge a nominal fee for conversion to high quality .STL using Magics RP)

Please use the following HighTail "link" to send any relevant information (N.D.A.s, pictures, .STL files, etc...)

https://dropbox.hightail.com/Zip-Bit

Also please include the basic dimensions (units = inch/metric & X:Y:Z) and the downstream usage, as this will aid us in the selection of the optimal 3D Printing technology to apply your project ...
