Polygons play an essential role in 3D modeling, allowing the design of complex objects with great precision. By assembling simple geometric shapes, it becomes possible to create a variety of three-dimensional models, particularly suitable for 3D printing. But how do…

CHITUBOX slicing software has just announced major updates for all its users, which should make 3D printing prep easier, streamline workflows and help ensure more reliable models. First, its Basic and Pro versions have been merged into a single application.…

3D design software is essential for creating models for additive manufacturing, and 3DCoat is one such program. Developed by Ukrainian studio Pilgway, which brings together experts from the US, Argentina, and Ukraine, the program was launched in 2007 by Andrew…

Today, there is a wide range of CAD software dedicated to the digital design of physical objects. In the context of 3D printing, the design phase is essential before starting manufacturing. BricsCAD stands out as professional CAD software offering a…

Without slicing software, 3D printing is not possible. The slicer is the essential intermediate step between designing the model and printing it. It translates the 3D model into successive layers and generates the necessary instructions for the printer in the…

Additive manufacturing is increasingly being used by manufacturers to improve agility on the factory floor, but many still face bottlenecks caused by fragmented software workflows and the need for skilled engineering labor.  To address this challenge, Stratasys has integrated fixturemate…

Creality Print, developed by 3D printer manufacturer Creality, is a slicing software designed for FDM 3D printers. Launched in January 2022, it has become an essential tool for users looking to optimize their Creality printer usage. This slicer is the…

When starting out in 3D printing, or when looking to push your limits, it is crucial to master your 3D printer, understand how to choose your materials, and know how to adjust some important slicing software settings. Once these essential…

A century ago, few could have imagined a world where you can unlock your front door with a smartphone or ask Alexa or Siri to play music and control the lights. Today, these technologies are part of everyday life, ushering…

When it comes to 3D printing, there is nothing more frustrating than ending up with a failed print. Although there are many different reasons behind this, including incorrect parameters and poor leveling, problems often also come from the model’s own…

With so many 3D design and modeling tools available, finding the right fit can be overwhelming. Enter BRL-CAD, an open-source, cross-platform software built on constructive solid geometry (CSG)—a method that delivers highly accurate, optimized renderings. While useful for general CAD…

In recent years, 3D printing hardware has advanced rapidly. However, 3D software hasn’t kept pace with this development. As a result, there has been a lack of solutions that meet growing demands for security, scalability, and network integration. This is…
