    Update,as it turns out the project is not sorted and turned out to be a waste of time and money the fellow I was reffered to is not at fault he is great to deal with
    it just turns out that what I want can't be done by 3D printing, I do have a excellent little souvenir to remind me
    Turns out what I require is someone who can produce small detailed 3D routing/engraving from a black and white image.

    Hi China,
    bad luck with the 3-D printing, however, what you've been told is rubbish.

    If your image can be carved / engraved with a CNC router, it can also be printed with a 3-D printer.

    The CNC is a subtractive process, while 3-D printing is additive. At the end of the day both processes should be able to produce the same surface. The issue with printing is including in the code a suitable skeleton structure to support the surface.
