Two years ago, Star Trek Online looked to launch a program where you could add your online fleet to your offline armada through a 3D printing partnership with manufacturer Eucl3d — but when Eucl3d went out of business in late 2016, the program was discontinued.
Until today, that is! The Star Trek Online team announced this afternoon that a partnership with manufacturer Mixed Dimensions is reviving the thought-dead 3D printing program, and with this new life brings a wildly-expanded opportunity for players to bring their ships of the 25th Century home.
Below are sample images of a 3D printed Pathfinder vessel, created through Mixed Dimensions’ GamePrint process, both before and after painting.
From the official site today:
The team at Star Trek Online is so happy to announce that, beginning in March, Captains on PC will be able to 3D print their personal starships from the game! We’re partnering with Mixed Dimensions to allow you to create custom 3D handcrafted starship collectibles for your desk, home and more.
Almost all of the over 500 playable starships will be available for print, including your personal customizations like ship names, colors and shield skins. You’ll even be able to print the customizations you’ve made using the parts available to your ship in the ship tailor.
Once you have your ship where you want it, you’ll be directed to Mixed Dimension’s GamePrint web site, where you’ll will be offered several different purchase options. Captains can commission one of the company’s master artists to hand paint an incredibly detailed, 12” resin high-end collectible version of their starship. You can also order a single-color version or a pre-primed model, which allows you to paint the entire starship yourself.
And for those who prefer to stick with the classics, GamePrint will also offer completed models replicating 20 of Star Trek Online’s exclusive and most popular starships. We’ll have more information very soon on this program, with pricing details and how you can print your very own ship.
The 3D printing program will kick off over at Star Trek Online next month!
