Cura: all you need to know before getting started
As many of you will know, in order to get a piece 3D printed, you need a slicing software, also called a slicer. The slicer converts the 3D model into a G-code file that will provide […]

For 3D printing service providers, managing day to day operations requires using many different tools such as billing, inventory, project management, and 3D file analysis. Effective communication and collaboration with clients are at the core of […]
Created in 1995, Blender is a complete 3D modeling software, very popular in the world of animation and video thanks to the many features it offers. The particularity of Blender is that it is 100% free, […]
In the 3D printing industry, there are many 3D modeling options to design the piece you would like to get 3D printed. Some software solutions are very popular for additive manufacturing, even though they are not […]
Design is extremely important for any manufacturing process. If you want to achieve the performance, cost and lead times enabled by additive manufacturing technologies, you should start with the right design. MSC Software, specialized in simulation […]
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 […]
AutoCAD enables the professional creation and editing of 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and objects. It is one of the most internationally recognized CAD software because of the wide variety of editing possibilities […]
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 […]
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 […]
In industrial sectors and product design, SOLIDWORKS is a CAD solution many rely on. The software has been around since the mid 90s and the latest figures estimate that there are around 9.3 million active users […]
