FDM. I got a new job back in March. The company has a Stratasys 3D printer that they hardly ever use because no one really know how to use it. I volunteered to learn it and back in August they sent me to a class, afterward my manager said "why don't you print some tests and samples? Just to get yourself familiar with the printer?" So I said "Don't mind if I do!" So I've downloaded several things from Thingiverse and Cults3D for "tests". Heh.

Correct. We use GrabCad. After you import the model, there should be options for you to scale. If an item was made for 3 3/4" (1/18) Joes, then scale it to 150% before you print and that would get you pretty close to Classified (1/12) size. But know that 1/18 items probably are not done with as much details as 1/12 items.

Same thing in reverse, if you find anything that was made for the 12" (1/6) Joes, print at 50% and you'd get it to 1/12.
