3D models for printing should be saved in the STL format (binary or ascii).  Your model should be "watertight" (the mesh has a mathematically determinable interior), correct normals, and a manifold topology.  Shapeways has a nice [http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/things-to-keep-in-mind tutorial] explaining this.
