3D software

Robotics brings together all the technologies that make it possible to design autonomous machines; combining knowledge in electronics, mechanics, and even biology. This is a field that has evolved quite a bit since C-3PO first hit the movie screens in…

In the 3D printing industry, there are many 3D modeling software options that enable you to design your 3D printed projects. Some software solutions are very popular for additive manufacturing, even though they are not primarily dedicated to this purpose—such…

Tinkercad is an online collection of software tools from Autodesk that enable complete beginners to create 3D models. This CAD software is based on constructive solid geometry (CSG), which allows users to create complex models by combining simpler objects together.…

Whether hobbyist or professional, anyone using a 3D printer is very likely to be using an STL file to print their project. An STL file, along with a 3D slicer, transmits data from a computer to 3D printer hardware. But…

As many of you will know, in order to get a piece 3D printed,  you need a slicing software, more commonly known as a slicer. The slicer converts the 3D model into a G-code file that will provide the 3D…

3D softwares are an important part of 3D printing as they allow users to perform a number of critical tasks. Among these are modeling softwares which are used to design the parts that will be 3D printed. However, many of…

Handddle is a French startup that has developed a software solution and a 100% configurable manufacturing microfactory, allowing additive manufacturing users to structure and industrialize 3D printing processes and functions. Based in Bordeaux, the startup supports professionals in the development…

SLM Solutions, a leader in the field of metal additive manufacturing, recently unveiled its latest innovation: Free Float. This software reduces the amount of 3D printing support materials needed to build a part. As a result, users will be able…

Before starting to 3D print, it is first necessary to make a digital 3D model of the part. This can be done in a variety of ways. Probably the most common technology when it comes to modeling in 3D printing…

Berkeley-based American company, Riven is launching a brand new re-scaling tool in order to reduce the effects of shrinking or warping incurred during the printing process on all 3D printed parts and allow users to print parts more accurately. The…

The additive manufacturing industry never sleeps. This has been proven again  by Stratasys and DyeMansion, who, after unveiling new machines and solutions within the last two months, have now announced that they are working together on a new project. Leading…

FDM 3D printing specialist Ultimaker has announced that its Ultimaker Essentials platform will now be integrated into all of its 3D printers, allowing all customers to take full advantage of its benefits. Through this tool, launched last summer, users can…
