MineWay (Instrumental)

Want to see your Minecraft creations in real physical form outside of your server?

Mineways is a free program for Linux or Windows users that renders all of your Minecraft builds into full color 3D model files. Those files can then be sculpted using your own 3D printer (if you have one), or uploaded to Shapeways, a company that will print your 3D models creations in colored plastic, which you can then purchase or sell in their online gallery.

Here's a quick look at the transformation from Minecraft build to 3D printed object:
