3D printing

For the faces and facial expressions, I'm really interested in the idea of 3D printing the faces like Laika do. I think this gives it a really nice effect and offers a variety of expressions for my character. 

As Leeds College of Art do not have a 3D printer, I have emailed Leeds uni to enquire about using their 3D printer to print some faces off for my characters and they have said that I would be able to do it, it just depends on how big and how many there are so they can work out how much it would cost. I think this would be quite expensive though and I am looking into cheaper options as I only want a couple of expressions for each character and they wont be lip syncing.
