Is it possible to download the 3d model in a format that could be used with a 3d printer?


Soon! We are working on it.


What's the licensing situation with such models? I seem to remember Lucasfilm (http://www.lucasfilm.com/divisions/licensing/) being pretty active ($3 billion in licensing revenue in 2011), but presumably they're not interested if there's no money involved?


Today, without download option, we are just considered like YouTube: a service hosting files uploaded by users, on which we have no control. When we launch download & commercialization of models, we will indeed have to find a licensing deal for copyright content.
