Print Your Own 3D Starships From Star Trek Online In March
Publisher Perfect World and developer Cryptic Studios today announced a partnership with the company Mixed Dimensions, with the goal of introducing custom 3D-printed Star Trek starship collectibles to the community of fans. The resulting 12” collectible ships are made of resin, and can be ordered in three tiers: a single-color version, a primed model ready for your painting at home, or a hand-painted version painted by the artists at Mixed Dimensions.
Players will be able to design their own ship in Star Trek Online, and then upload their design to the Mixed Dimensions GamePrint website for printing. The functionality will also allow fans to order completed models that represent 20 of Star Trek Online’s most popular ships.
No pricing has been announced, but Star Trek fans and Star Trek Online players can look forward to the 3D-printed ships to launch sometime in March.
Star Trek Online is currently free-to-play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
We got a first look at examples of some of the printed ships, which you can check out below. The example ship shown is the Pathfinder, a long range science vessel within the game.
