3D Software

3D modeling is a key step in the 3D printing value chain, a step that allows the user to imagine the geometry of the part and its functionality. But when you are a beginner, it is difficult to find your…

On Wednesday, 3DEXPERIENCE World 2023 came to an end. This gathering for users of Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Works, including of course SOLIDWORKS, encompassed three days of discussions, announcements and of course workshops. And with the last physical 3DEXPERIENCE World event…

Metal 3D printing has been one of the most outstanding developments in the AM industry in recent years. In 2018, Wohlers Report reported that 80% more metal 3D printing solutions had been sold compared to the previous year – today, …

The software you should use when designing a 3D printed part depends entirely on what it is. Indeed, the complexity of your object will influence your final choice. In general, modeling software can be separated into two categories: CAD software…

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.…

Every day, there are more and more moments in our daily lives where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is helping us, often without us even realizing it. This type of software, which simulates human behavior and even thinking, finds solutions to certain…

CAD (or computer-aided design) is an essential component of the digital workflow of additive manufacturing. As is in the name, it involves the use of computer software to create, modify, or analyze a design before it is ready to be…

When it comes to 3D printing, one of the most critical steps is obviously having a 3D model to print. There are a number of different ways these can be obtained including CAD and other modeling software and scanners, but…

Everyone should be aware that additive manufacturing is not just about 3D printing itself. In addition to post-processing, the use of the right software for creating the 3D-printed model also plays a major role. If you are looking into choosing…

The additive manufacturing market, despite some setbacks, has generally been showing its growth through a number of mergers and acquisitions in the past few years. Now Carbon, one of the leaders when it comes to resin 3D printing solutions, has…

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed what they claim are intelligent 3D printers capable of quickly detecting and correcting errors, no matter the design nor material. More specifically, the engineers were able to develop a machine learning algorithm…

Founde in 2009 and acquired by Stratasys in 2013, MakerBot is a leader in FDM printing solutions. In addition to its printer, it also has its own software platform called MakerBot CloudPrint, with the newest version only launched recently. Previously…
