To start the year off right, we take you to Belgium to meet AdditiveLab, our first #3Dstartup this year. Winner of the Start-Up Challenge 2019 organized by Formnext, the company has developed software solutions to simulate […]
At the origin of any 3D printing process is the 3D modeling process: obtaining a 3D model is essential to create your part, whatever the sector of activity. This key step uses CAD software that offers […]
It’s no secret that additive manufacturing requires different processes than conventional manufacturing. For this reason, AM automation software can enable companies to unite every stage of production to optimize the AM workflow. Having identified this need, […]
The company flyingshapes° has released a next-generation virtual reality CAD solution. You might ask what is VR CAD - the concept is in fact quite original, in short it relates to drawing 3D objects with controllers […]
In general, photogrammetry is the science of obtaining reliable data about physical objects through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images. Photogrammetry is often used by surveyors, architects or even engineers to create topographic […]
Additive manufacturing is revolutionising the industry by leading a real change in production methods: relocation of manufacturing resources, gains in terms of flexibility for the production of prototypes and small series in-house, reduction in lead times […]
Allevi was founded a little over five years ago in Philadelphia with a mission to make it easier to design and engineer 3D tissues. The team created their first desktop 3D bioprinter to be versatile, powerful […]
As companies start to adopt 3D printing at a larger scale, the need to adopt a tool to manage the additive manufacturing workflow is becoming greater. Any industry needs software to manage operations if it aims […]
3D printing may seem difficult if you are a complete beginner with no experience, especially when it comes to using 3D software. This can cause people to give up before creating their finished STL files. To […]
Failed prints are a common issue when you finally come to print the 3D model you’ve created. Repair software exists so that you avoid leaving unprintable defects in your model. It will allow you to repair […]
What is slicer software? The slicer, also called slicing software acts as the middleman between the 3D model and the 3D printer. Once you have modelled the object you would like to 3D print, you will have […]
What is CAD Software? The software you should use when designing something to be 3D printed is entirely dependent on what you are trying to make. In general, 3D design software falls into two categories. The first […]
Over the last two years, Spare Parts 3D has worked at developing a 3D software to digitalise spare parts and establish a qualified network of production in over 70 countries across the world, therefore building a […]
Additive manufacturing, unlike traditional machining techniques, makes it possible to produce parts with complex geometries whose total weight can be optimised using a numerical method called "topology optimisation". This technique literally consists of "removing" the material where […]
Structo, a specialised dental 3D-printing company, has continued its burgeoning partnership with 3D software producer Materialise to create PrintWorks Pro. This software has the potential to vastly simplify the 3D printing file-preparation process, to help revolutionise the […]
Dassault Systèmes (DS), the French giant of 3D software solutions, is launching an online platform that will offer free, unlimited use of all of its software. No date has been set as of yet, but Catia, […]
3D scanning is one of the biggest allies to 3D printing, allowing you to transform real objects into a 3D model without having to work too hard on the design. With the ability to scan from […]
In the beginning of April we presented you with our list of the TOP 10 3D software for beginners that can be found on the market today. Coming in at number 3 was SelfCAD, a newcomer […]
Whether you are designing, modifying, or repairing a 3D file yourself, there are always days when a happy owner of a 3D printer wonders what 3D software to use. Because it is difficult to choose among […]
3Dnatives is the leading source for all things 3D printing and additive manufacturing, with more than 550,000 visitors per month. Every day, you will find the latest news, interviews, stories and more on the revolution that is 3D printing!
