I'm trying to do some 3D printing, but the hair is more than a problem. Is it possible to make a hair a solid object? 

Let's say Agent hair for discussion

There are different ways to create hair, but it would be cool to end up with a solid like the old hair for Poser figures.

    yes

    you need to add thickness and pull that into the head and use displacement on the surface using the opacity map, I did in Carrara for a figure I printed before my nasty DaVinci printer stopped recognising my DRM encoded filiment  cartridges

    this can be done in Daz Studio?

    Not sure if this helps directly, but might lead to something useful!

    no, you need a 3D modelling program

    be it Carrara like me, Blender, Hexagon etc DS studio is a dedicated content loading and pose and render program

    Why don't you use Poser hair then? Just don't conform, fit manually...
