FYI: What Daz says in Part E of their EULA.
http://www.daz3d.com/eula
"Physical images (3D-print, molded copy, CNC-routed copy, and the like) of Content or any art derived from the Content is permitted only by User’s purchase from DAZ, via the User’s online DAZ store account, permission to deliver User’s derived works (art), including necessary Content, to an entity that creates 3D-images in a physical medium. User may then deliver User’s art in file format to that 3rd-party to have physical images printed or created, up to the limitations set forth in the online DAZ Store as delineated on the purchase page associated with the permission product. These limitations govern (i) personal and/or commercial use of the physical, printed images; and (ii) the quantity of 3-D printed images allowed."
So essentially, if you want to sell or give away a figure made with Daz content, they person you give it to must own or buy a copy of the DAZ Content purchased from DAZ.
This is all very theorehtical. From what I know about DAZ... or just about any Poser figure, it would require SO MUCH cleanup just to print a nude that it's not really practical. A 3D printed object must not only be water tight... but sized and given the position it would probably need the addition of structural supports as well dependingonhe poisiton so it didn't fall in mid print.
Adding clothing would mean removing tons of gerometry and welding the clothing not ony in place... but also to where the removed geomtery came from.
Quite franly... if you can do all that, you have the skills to model a figure from scratch, and don't really need DAZ. At least that's my opinion.
