Exporting Files for 3D Printing with ZPrint

Hi Everyone,
I have a combination of a GeoPDF Topo Map and DEM data that I would like to export for 3D printing using the ZPrint software from 3D systems. I've exported the data to STL, but it loses the imagery from the topo map. When exporting to VRML, the file is huge and (apparently) unreadable by ZPrint.
Could anyone offer any suggestions on a path to proceed?

Does ZPrint support any type of separate image for a texture in addition to the STL file? Like perhaps you could also export a JPG or GeoTIFF to go along with the STL file that is the same size?
Thanks,
